Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Pelosi, confirmed Tuesday that both projects had been removed and argued that Republicans now don’t have much reason to oppose the popular relief package.
Hammill noted the pandemic has had an immediate and overwhelming effect on all of our transportation systems and that the House included $1.425 billion to help dozens of major transit rail capital projects.

The senior Democratic aide characterized the bridge money as a project that primarily would have helped Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik
“The Senate Parliamentarian has now ruled that the BART extension from San Jose to Santa Clara does not meet the requirements of the Byrd rule because it is part of a pilot project. Therefore, it will be removed from the reconciliation package,” the aide said.

The Senate parliamentarian on Wednesday rejected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s attempt to add $140 million to a massive COVID-19 relief package for a subway tunnel near her California district.
“Parliamentarian rules against Pelosi tunnel earmark,” tweeted Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, who called it a “small victory.”
Mr. Grassley said there is still a lot of money in the $1.9 trillion measure that isn’t coronavirus-related, “but as a matter of common sense the Silicon Valley tunnel should be out.”
