How much and when?
The stimulus’ impact on freight rail, rail transit, and the high speed passenger rail industries.
In February, President Obama signed a $787 billion stimulus bill, marking the passage of the largest piece of economic legislation in history. Within its 1,000-plus pages are funds for both freight and passenger rail initiatives. But just how much money is available? Who qualifies for funding? Where will it be going? And when will it be available?
In this 75-minute Webcast, presented by Chuck Baker of the National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association and moderated by Progressive Railroading editor Pat Foran, you will get an in-depth look at the legislation and the opportunities it provides railroads, transit systems, shippers, contractors, suppliers, and the rail industry in general.
The Webcast will detail:
- How rail funding was developed for the stimulus package
- Types of funding available to transit and freight carriers
- Who is eligible for stimulus funds
- Timelines for funding distribution
- How stimulus funding relates to other transportation legislation
