Rail and Highway Transmission Planning Act

Summary

The bill orders the Department of Energy to evaluate the feasibility of building high‑voltage transmission lines within existing highway and rail rights‑of‑way. It would involve reviewing past projects, identifying best practices, assessing costs, benefits, safety and environmental impacts, and producing a report for Congress within three years. The goal is to speed up new transmission capacity by using already‑owned public corridors.
