WASHINGTON, D.C. –– Tapping funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Federal Railroad Administration this week made $1 Billion available for rail passenger projects that are not within the Northeast Corridor.
The Notice of Funding Opportunity Summary reads as follows:
“This notice (FSP-National) details the application requirements and procedures to
obtain grant funding for projects not located on the Northeast Corridor (NEC) under the Federal State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Program (FSP Program) for FY 2024. This notice

According to FRA Administrator Amit Bose, “This funding addresses infrastructure needs, reduces congestion, and expands access to reliable transportation options for people living in underserved regions, all while honoring FRA’s commitment to working with states, Tribes, and stakeholders to reshape America’s rail network and lay the foundation for its future.”
