Coalition for the Northeast Corridor is thrilled with the announcement of $8.2 billion for ten passenger rail projects across the country through FRA's Federal State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Program. Investments in reliable, expanded train service across the country are crucial in advancing the interconnectivity of U.S. passenger travel by rail. The investments include expansions to the Pennsylvania Keystone Corridor and improving the connections between the Southeast and Northeast corridor. These rail improvements including high-speed investments will help to augment the U.S. passenger rail system as a whole and are a win for rail passengers both in the Northeast and across the U.S.

Certainly big news & a long time coming. The question is why just 10 projects? Other regional projects get put aside - why again? Simple reason - no funding w/o increasing the deficit even more. Isn’t time to fall back on a proven model for funding infrastructure project? It is! HR 4052, the creation of the Nation’s fifth National Infrastructure Bank. The time has come to get all infrastructure projects done. Check out nibcoalition.com. #nationalinfrastructurebank

I just finished reading through the FRA’s long distance study (thank you Infrastructure and Jobs Act!) and it’s exciting. While it’s true that intercity rail works “best” (i.e. generates the highest ridership, encourages mode-shifting, is the most economical) at the ~100-400 mile sweet spot, expanding long distance services will: (1) Immediately benefit millions of Americans with no current rail connections; (2) Strengthen political support for Amtrak; (3) Establish beachheads for higher-speed rail between city pairs unserved by rail today. Comments to the FRA are due March 8! https://lnkd.in/e9rwqkV6

Thoughtful discussion on RTE Drivetime on the All Island Rail review with Professor Brian Caulfield TCD. Cynicism on the lack of finance, timelines, planning within the report and questions on the overall cost. Balanced by the fact that, since 1980s when we build/add to public transport infrastructure (e.g. DART & LUAS) we don't regret it. Full report can be read here https://lnkd.in/eAcyJ_pc
Government launches a new all-island rail plan today that would triple passenger numbers in the next 25 years
