US Transportation Secretary announces $3.6 million for Michigan rail project


Tags: USA , North America , construction , economics | similar articles »

US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood Thursday announced $3.6 million for the State of Michigan to begin work on the rehabilitation of the Battle Creek railroad station.  The Department of Transportation will ultimately provide a total of $40 million to Michigan under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for its high-speed intercity passenger rail program.

The $3.6 million in Recovery Act funds will be used to renovate the station's interior lobby, bathrooms, ticketing areas and offices, lighting, signage, and to make the station Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant. 

"Improving railroad infrastructure, including stations, is a vital part of our high-speed intercity passenger rail program," said Federal Railroads Administrator Joseph C. Szabo.

FRA has released more than $591 million of the $8 billion down payment provided in the Recovery Act for the development of a national network of interconnected high-speed rail corridors.
