This notice provides directed grant funding for eligible rail capital projects to the states of Alaska, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Applicants must be state governments seeking funding under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements program administered by the Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration. Applications are due by March 8, 2024 and should improve safety, efficiency, and reliability of intercity passenger and freight rail systems. Funding will support projects that meet the unique circumstances of providing rail service in these rural, sparsely populated areas.
Award amounts will be determined based on proposals and available funding. Funded work is expected to be performed in Alaska, South Dakota, and Wyoming to enhance rail infrastructure and operations given the challenging logistics and low population densities across vast territories in these three states.
