This $1,870,000 Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) under the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail (CFDA 20.326) program, will fund the development of a Service Development Plan (SDP) for the Downeaster Corridor. The Downeaster Corridor connects Boston, MA to Brunswick, ME, with a potential extension to Rockland, ME, and includes improvements such as added frequencies, reduced travel times, improved reliability, a new infill station, and technology enhancements to improve passenger connections. The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA), a U.S. state government transit authority, will be responsible for completing the SDP, which will outline the scope, schedule, and budget necessary to implement these corridor improvements. This award aims to enhance intercity passenger rail service and connectivity in the northeastern coastal region.
