  WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Transportation today announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity making available nearly $9 billion in funding to upgrade and expand passenger rail services along the Northeast Corridor.
  These funds will be issued through the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Grant Program, which grew to $36 billion over the next five years thanks to President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
  Taken together, more than $11 billion in passenger rail funds have been made available in the first round of funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
