Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Publishes Northeast Corridor Project Inventory, Laying Out Priorities for Intercity Passenger Rail Development on the Northeast Corridor (NEC)

Excerpt:  “The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) issued a list of priority projects in the Northeast Corridor, a railroad line that spans from Boston to Washington, D.C. This list will advance a systematic approach for the improvement and development of the commuter and intercity passenger rail backbone of the region’s rail network. Specifically, the Project Inventory creates a project pipeline to assist Amtrak, States, and the public with long-term planning that will improve service. It will guide up to $24 billion in funding that FRA is investing in NEC intercity passenger rail service through the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Program (Partnership Program).”
