Federal Grant Award Summary The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded RIO Metro Regional Transit District $9.7 million under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) on July 14, 2026, for implementation of Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) on a 4.7-mile double-track segment of the New Mexico Rail Runner Express (NMRX) commuter rail system near downtown Albuquerque. The grant funds infrastructure upgrades and technology installations that enable dispatchers to remotely authorize train movements through automated signal and switch controls, replacing manual Track Warrant Control (TWC) procedures. Project deliverables include upgrades to two existing control points, installation of two new control points with associated signal bungalows and communications equipment, installation of Positive Train Control (PTC) safety overlay systems, rehabilitation of track infrastructure, installation of powered switches and turnouts, and removal of obsolete signal equipment. Upon completion by October 1, 2027, the CTC implementation will increase train speeds across the project corridor, reducing travel times by eliminating speed restrictions currently imposed on 2.7 miles of the segment (20 mph limit) and the remaining 2 miles (50 mph limit with manual authorization). The project directly supports FTA's objective to improve, maintain, and operate existing transit systems in urbanized areas by modernizing the NMRX operational infrastructure and enhancing system safety and efficiency through automated train control capabilities.
