The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) awarded a $500,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Southern Rail Commission under the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail (CFDA 20.326) program. The funding will support the development of a Service Development Plan (SDP) for a proposed passenger rail corridor connecting Dallas, TX to Meridian, MS. Key tasks include creating a project performance plan, preparing existing planning materials, developing a statement of work, and establishing an approved project schedule and budget. The outcome of this project will be the project description needed to advance the SDP for the proposed corridor, which is intended to benefit communities along the I-20 corridor. This award demonstrates the FRA's investment in planning new and improved intercity passenger rail services across the United States.
