CONNECT NEC 2037 & NEC Capital Investment Plan (FY24-28)

The 15-year CONNECT NEC Program and the five-year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) are key components of the Transparency, Collaboration, and Accountability pillar in the NEC Cost Allocation Policy. CONNECT NEC identifies long-term service objectives and associated capital investments over the next 15 years, while the annual CIP demonstrates how the Commission and its member agencies plan to advance CONNECT NEC in the near-term. C37, an update to C35 completed in 2021, assesses NEC-wide rail service and state-of-good-repair goals and the infrastructure investments necessary to meet them. Per statute, the FY24-28 CIP integrates individual capital plans developed by Amtrak, States, and commuter authorities that cover a period of five fiscal years.  (Released November 2023).

NEC Capital Investment Plan (Fiscal Years 2022-2026)

The NEC Capital Investment Plan (CIP) integrates infrastructure investments planned by each agency into a single document to create a corridor-wide view of projects and funding needs over the next five years. For the first time, the FY22-26 CIP has CONNECT NEC 2035, a 15-year service development plan and infrastructure planning process, to guide its development. The CIP provides detailed project-level information, including anticipated scopes of work and upcoming project milestones, submitted and vetted by Commission member agencies, for projects which could occur in the next five years according to the C35 sequencing process. Year One of the CIP is fiscally constrained and serves as an implementation plan and valuable tool for collaboration, transparency, and accountability among NEC agencies. The Commission will use Year One of the CIP as the baseline against which it measures capital program delivery performance. (Released October 2021)
