The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded Rio Metro Regional Transit District a $5.41 million formula grant under the Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program (CFDA 20.507) to construct a 2,000-foot controlled siding on the New Mexico Rail Runner Express (NMRX) system between Alameda Boulevard and Alameda Road. The project, obligated June 30, 2026, with completion targeted for October 1, 2027, will include installation of new subgrade, ballast, ties, rail turnouts, switches, centralized traffic control and positive train control systems, and improvements to adjoining grade crossings. Additionally, a dilapidated industry track adjacent to the siding will be rehabilitated as part of the construction scope. This infrastructure improvement addresses operational inefficiencies on the 14-mile single-track segment between Control Point Hahn near downtown Albuquerque and Bernalillo, which currently causes significant delays for Rail Runner commuter rail, Amtrak intercity, and BNSF Class I freight operations. The new passing siding at the midpoint of this segment will create scheduling flexibility and improve on-time performance for all three rail operators while reducing delays for passengers and enhancing the timeliness of freight deliveries to industries served by the NMRX system. Rio Metro will execute all grant work directly with no subrecipient involvement.Federal Formula Grant Award Summary
