$2.4 billion in funding will reconstruct tracks, and improve bridges and intercity routes.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) announced that $2.4 billion has been allocated to 122 rail improvement projects across 41 states and Washington, D.C. Administered by the Federal Railroad Administration, the selected projects will tackle an array of improvements to U.S. rail service, including track upgrades, bridge rehabilitation, rail connection expansions, and locomotive modernization. The department stated that this is “the most significant investment in American rail in more than 50 years.”
“Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we’re funding rail infrastructure projects that create jobs and expand workforce development, reduce costs for consumers, and directly benefit communities across the country,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “Each project advances a future where our supply chains are stronger, passenger rail more accessible, and freight movement safer and more efficient.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Buttigieg and transportation officials as they determine where to invest infrastructure funding.
- For Administrator Amit Bose to receive God’s wisdom as he heads the Federal Railroad Administration.
