Summary
The Polar Express Act of 2026 orders the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to begin a feasibility study, within 180 days, on creating a rail connection from Alaska to the North American continental rail network. The study must be completed and reported to Congress within two years, but the bill does not authorize construction or allocate funding. It mainly impacts Alaska, federal and state agencies, tribal governments, and other stakeholders who may be consulted.
