FRA Approves New England Plan
FRA has announced a finding of no significant impact regarding the Northern New England Intercity Rail Initiative, clearing the way for states and the federal government to invest in future passenger rail service in New England.
The initiative proposes to restore service between Boston and New Haven through Springfield and Hartford and add new service between Boston and Montreal. FRA awarded $942,775 to Massachusetts DOT and the Vermont Agency of Transportation through its Next Generation High-Speed Rail Program to study potential service options and complete the Tier 1 Environmental Assessment, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act; Connecticut DOT also was a member of the study team.
The states will coordinate the initiative with other projects, including NEC FUTURE, FRA’s ongoing effort to define, evaluate and prioritize future investments in the Northeast Corridor.
