Federal Investment Highlights

Nearly 85% of rail investments to-date are 

concentrated on six key corridors

1) Los Angeles to San Francisco: Te nation’s frst 220-

mph high-speed rail system will connect two of the 

country’s largest metropolitan areas

2) Seattle to Portland: New stations, new daily 

trains, numerous safety improvements, and faster 

service are under development on one of the most 

established corridors in the U.S.

3) Chicago to St. Louis: Construction is underway to 

bring 110mph speeds and new trains to a service 

that saw ridership growth of 138% from 2005-15

4) Chicago to Detroit: Improvements will bring a 

30-minute reduction in trip time, 110mph service 

along 235 miles of track, and enhanced stations to 

this corridor

5) Northeast Corridor (connecting Washington, D.C., 

New York and Boston): Improvements to the nation’s 

busiest and most vital corridor will allow speeds of 

160mph between Philadelphia and New York

6) Charlotte to Washington, D.C.: Investments will add 

new daily trains and decrease travel times on one of 

the fastest-growing corridors in the nation

Te Obama Administration and Congress provided $10.1 billion 

through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and 

annual appropriations to provide rail access to new communities and 

improve the reliability, speed and frequency of existing lines. Tis 

strategic investment will help ensure America is equipped to win the 

future with the fastest, safest, and most efcient transportation network 

in the world. 

More than 135 million Americans—44% of our population—live in 

a community connected to a rail corridor receiving signifcant capital 

investments. 

Investments are being made in a three-tiered passenger rail network: 

1) Core Express services operating frequent trains at 125-250+mph in 

the nation’s densest and most populous regions;

2) Regional services providing 90-125mph service between mid-sized 

and large cities; and

3) Feeder services (up to 90mph) connecting communities to the 

passenger rail network and providing a foundation for future 

corridor development. 

Tese strategic investments provide immediate benefts to citizens 

across the country in the form of safer, faster, and more reliable 

passenger rail networks, and also lay the groundwork for future rail 

investments.
