What is FRAs schedule for implementing these high-speed and intercity passenger rail grant programs?
The Strategic Plan outlines a proposed timetable for implementing the passenger rail grant programs that seeks to balance the practical constraints facing potential applicants with the immediate imperatives of ARRA, and the long-term goal of developing a sustainable program for building high-speed passenger rail service. The proposed schedule contemplates two rounds of funding, each with solicitations for the three funding tracks discussed above, and subsequent rounds if funds are not fully obligated during the initial rounds.
