Amtrak Statement: Federal Railroad Administration Corridor Identification and Development Program

FRA’s announcement today is an important next step as we work together to expand intercity passenger rail in America. We are excited for state transportation departments and other parties to notify the FRA that they are interested in proposed new routes and expanded service to be considered by the FRA as part of this federal program. This is an easy, effective, and no-cost way for states and local groups to take the first step and bring more trains to more people in their home states and across America. We look forward to seeing which states and other parties submit Expressions of Interest to the FRA, and to working with all stakeholders to advance more trains to more people across America.”
