Thanks to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, the Northeast Corridor (NEC) has entered a historic era of reinvestment, which will result in faster, more frequent, and more reliable service for the millions of Americans that rely on the corridor for leisure and business travel. Among other funding for passenger rail, the IIJA includes $24 billion for the NEC in the Federal-State Partnership (FSP) for Intercity Passenger Rail discretionary grant program. As of December 2024, nearly $18 billion in FSP grant funding has been awarded to critical state-of-good-repair, major backlog, and improvement projects.
The Commission’s NEC FSP Project Tracker summarizes project information and key performance indicators for NEC projects receiving FSP grant awards under the IIJA. Project information included in the dashboard aligns with the NEC Commission’s 5-Year Capital Investment Plan.
