The Biden administration has allocated over $1.4 billion to improve railway safety and capacity across 35 states and Washington, D.C. The funding will support 70 projects, including track upgrades, bridge repairs, and improved connectivity among railways. One project will restore passenger service in parts of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi for the first time since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The grants aim to make American rail safer, more reliable, and more resilient, benefitting communities and strengthening supply chains. The funding comes from the 2021 infrastructure law, with President Joe Biden emphasizing the need for federal agencies to hold railway operators accountable for safety.
