On Friday, August 6, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) submitted the Federal funding application for the Amtrak/FEC Corridor project to the Federal Railroad Administration. The project is now in the running for a requested $250 Million to complete the project in three years. Grant awards are expected to be announced in late September 2010.
The State of Florida submitted the Amtrak/FEC Corridor Project application as well as an application for $1.1 Billion in additional funding for high speed rail express service in the Tampa-Orlando corridor. A press release from Governor Crist is included with this update. The press release and both project applications are also available on the FDOT website at the following address: http://www.dot.state.fl.us/planning/policy/hsipr/
FDOT, along with the regional planning councils, local governments, MPOs, and others contributed a tremendous effort to enable the application to be submitted by Friday’s deadline. The project is broadly supported along the corridor. More than 160 letters and resolutions from local governments, agencies, and organizations are included in the application package, along with letters of support from the Governor, congressional and legislative leaders.
There will be much work to do as the project moves forward, but submittal of the application on Friday is a key step towards making this project a reality.
