Establishes a grant program for commuter rail bridge maintenance, replacement, and rehabilitation.

The Secretary of Transportation is authorized to make grants to operators of public transportation systems for these purposes. The grants are subject to specific terms and conditions, including eligibility based on the size of the commuter rail system, available funds, and the age and condition of the bridge. The act also requires operators to establish and maintain an agreement with the bridge owner to ensure access.
