California’s loss is the country’s gain.
The Federal Railroad Administration has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity for the National Railroad Partnership Program, allocating more than $5 billion in funding for projects that enhance safety on intercity passenger rail networks.
This includes improvements to grade crossings, which result in more than 2,000 incidents and 200 fatalities each year.
The NOFO includes approximately $2.4 billion that the FRA has de-obligated from the California High-Speed Rail project, which will now be reinvested in successful projects, critical infrastructure upgrades, and rail safety. This is the first of many Trump Infrastructure Dividends, whereby recompeted federal dollars will be redirected from wasteful boondoggles to real infrastructure projects that benefit the American people.
