The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) awarded a $500,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency (KIPDA) under the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail (CFDA 20.326) program. The purpose of this award is for KIPDA to develop a Service Development Plan (SDP) for a proposed passenger rail corridor connecting Indianapolis, IN to Louisville, KY. The key products to be delivered include a Project Performance Plan, existing planning materials, a Statement of Work, a project schedule, and an approved project budget. The outcome of this effort will be the project description necessary to progress the corridor development to the next stage. The proposed rail corridor would provide new service on an existing alignment where Amtrak discontinued operations in the early 2000s, serving the Louisville and Indianapolis metro areas as well as the Columbus and Clarksville markets between them.
