About this opportunity
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is soliciting grant applications for the FY24 Ettrick Passenger Rail Station Improvements project under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program. The primary objective is to support planning activities for designing and constructing a new passenger rail station to replace the obsolete 1950s Ettrick station, with a focus on accommodating increased passenger volumes and future service expansion. The FRA will give preference to projects where the federal share of total project costs is 50 percent or less, and where the proposed non-federal share includes multiple funding sources. Applicants must submit a comprehensive application package including a Project Narrative, Statement of Work, Benefit-Cost Analysis, Environmental Compliance Documentation, and various standard federal forms. The evaluation criteria will emphasize projects that maximize net benefits, demonstrate potential private sector participation, and align with key departmental transportation priorities.
The project is designed to serve an anticipated 30,000 passengers in 2023, with plans to support a future two-fold increase in service through the development of the Richmond to Raleigh corridor segment. While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, the CRISI program typically funds projects ranging from several hundred thousand to over $200 million. The project will include planning for a new third track and platform to serve Amtrak trains, with the place of performance located in the Ettrick area. The application deadline is September 26, 2025, with the project expected to enhance rail infrastructure safety, efficiency, and reliability in the region.
Synopsis
This project supports planning activities to start the process of designing and constructing a new passenger rail station that will replace the obsolete and structurally deficient 1950s Ettrick station. The new station facility will serve not only 30,000 passengers expected in 2023, but the two-fold increase in passengers expected from doubling of service through Ettrick that will result from the development of the Richmond to Raleigh corridor segment. The project will also plan for a new third track and platform that will serve Amtrak trains now and in the future.
