The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) today continued its historic investment in passenger rail with nearly $1.5 billion for 19 projects along the Northeast Corridor (NEC). Funding made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and administered through FRA’s Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Program (Fed-State NEC) will further repair and replace vital NEC infrastructure to provide faster, safer, and more reliable service for travelers and commuters.
