STAR Act

The Saving Transit Art Resources Act, or STAR Act, amends title 49 of the United States Code to allow specific federal funds to cover the incremental costs of incorporating art into transit facilities. This is achieved by modifying section 5323(h) and striking subsection (p) from section 5309, along with subsequent redesignations.

These amendments are designed to remove previous limitations or special rules that may have hindered the use of transit funding for art projects. The bill's purpose is to clarify and expand the eligibility of art-related expenses, thereby promoting the inclusion of artistic elements within public transportation infrastructure and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of these facilities.
