The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is accepting applications for railroad improvement projects through the Rail Transportation Assistance Program and will soon accept applications for rail project funding under the Rail Freight Assistance Programs. There are significant differences between the two programs, which can be viewed by clicking on the links below. However, in previous rounds of funding, each program has provided funds for the rehabilitation or extension of rail infrastructure. Funds have been provided both to railroads and to businesses served by rail, or desiring to be served by rail. More information may be obtained by clicking on the link below. The Bureau of Rail Freight, Ports and Waterways on behalf of Toby L. Fauver, ACIP, Deputy Secretary for Local and Area Transportation, would like to announce the opening of our grant application acceptance period.
