FY24 Ettrick Passenger Rail Station Improvements

The Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration is offering a grant opportunity for the FY24 Ettrick Passenger Rail Station Improvements project. This initiative aims to support the planning and design of a new passenger rail station to replace the outdated and structurally deficient Ettrick station, which is expected to accommodate a significant increase in passenger traffic due to enhanced rail services in the Richmond to Raleigh corridor. The project is crucial for improving transportation infrastructure and enhancing service capacity for an anticipated 30,000 passengers in 2023, with future growth expected. Eligible applicants, specifically the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority, can apply for a total funding amount of $1 million, with applications due by August 18, 2025. For further inquiries, interested parties may contact the GrantSolutions Help Desk at 1.866.577.0771 or 202.401.5282 during business hours.
