[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2997, member: 1"] [URL='https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amtrak-train-travel-could-grow-234314672.html'][B]How Amtrak Train Travel Could Grow Under Infrastructure Bill - Yahoo[/B][/URL] President Joe Biden is set to sign a $1 trillion infrastructure bill that was passed by the House late Friday. The bill is intended to invest in many aspects of American infrastructure, ranging from rebuilding rural bridges to reducing the climate change impacts of some transportation systems. One entity that’s getting a significant chunk of funding is national rail operator Amtrak, which is set to get about $66 billion in infrastructure spending. That’s the largest investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak about 50 years ago. Funding will be dispersed across multiple Amtrak-related activities, including eliminating the Amtrak maintenance backlog and modernizing the popular Northeast Corridor. There’s also been funding allocated to establish new — or expand on existing — intercity passenger rail service to areas outside of the northeast and mid-Atlantic, where Amtrak currently tends to dominate.
