FRA Receives 278 Pre-Apps for HSPR Funding

U.S. Sec. of Trans. Ray LaHood announced today that the FRA has received 278
pre-applications for grant funding totaling $102 billion. Funding will come
from the ARRA for the HSIPR competitive grant program.
"The response has been tremendous and shows that the country is ready for
high-speed rail," Secretary LaHood said. "It's time to look beyond our
highways and invest in public transportation services like rail, which will
enhance regional mobility and reduce our carbon footprint."

40 states and DofC filed pre-apps. While not all proposed projects can be
funded, the USDOT will work with states and regions to identify priorities
and prepare for ongoing high speed passenger rail development.

Congress passed the Recovery Act, which included an $8 billion competitive
grant program as a down payment to develop HS and intercity passenger rail
networks. The President has proposed a continuing $1 billion annual
investment to further this effort. 

The USDOT issued a strategic plan for high-speed rail in April 2009,
followed by guidelines for states and groups of states to apply for the
economic recovery money in June 2009. The USDOT expects to announce the
first round of merit-based grants in the fall. 

The final application deadline is August 24 for funding on individual
projects and planning, October 2 for corridor programs.
