The bill would require the Comptroller General to send Congress a report within one year of enactment. The report would recommend ways to reduce train noise and vibrations near homes and estimate the costs and benefits of each recommendation. It would cover possible changes to trains, tracks, maintenance, train speeds and schedules, limits on trains and cars, measures between tracks and homes, home insulation, and soil conditions.
The bill would require a report, not put noise-reduction measures in place. It does not specify changes for train operators or homeowners.
The bill does not set a spending amount. It requires the report to estimate the costs and benefits of its recommendations.
