Department of Transportation grants are for improving safety, efficiency, and reliability of intercity passenger and freight rail.
U.S. Senator Alex Padilla announced that twelve California rail infrastructure projects will receive $279 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Grant Program. Recipients range from major passenger rail services to track replacement and locomotive upgrade projects on smaller freight rail routes to improve safety and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
