"Biden's $16 Billion Investment Propels America's Busiest Rail Corridor Towards World Class Status"

President Biden's vision for world-class passenger rail in the United States takes a significant step forward with a $16.4 billion investment in 25 passenger rail projects along the Northeast Corridor (NEC), the busiest rail corridor in the country. The funding, made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will modernize and upgrade infrastructure, including bridges, tunnels, tracks, and stations, improving speeds, reducing travel time, and providing a more reliable experience for the 800,000 daily passengers. This investment will also create over 100,000 construction jobs and support economic activity in the region. The projects selected under the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Program are part of a larger effort to build a modern rail network and reduce emissions from transportation.
