Full title

To amend title 49, United States Code, to permit certain revenues of private vanpool contractors received from providing public transportation to be used for the purpose of acquiring rolling stock that is not funded, in part, by Federal, State, or local government assistance, and to permit certain expenditures of private vanpool contractors to be credited toward the local matching share of the costs of public transportation projects.

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 109th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
