The Biden administration announced Monday that it is awarding more than $1.4 billion to projects that improve railway safety, boost supply chain capacity, and expand passenger rail services.

“These projects will make American rail safer, more reliable, and more resilient, delivering tangible benefits to dozens of communities where railroads are located, and strengthening supply chains for the entire country,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.
