This $32,184,000 federal Project Grant award from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the National Infrastructure Investments (RAISE) program will fund the design, engineering, and construction of double tracking along the existing Red Line commuter rail from Onion Street to E. Timbes in East Austin, Texas. The project includes construction of a second station platform at Plaza Saltillo, signalization and Positive Train Control (PTC) modifications, safer railroad crossings at five locations, and new active transportation infrastructure between Chicon and Pedernales Streets. The project aims to significantly reduce transportation-related pollution, expand affordable and equitable transportation choices, and improve access to essential daily destinations for the Austin metropolitan area.
