Restoring routes and expanding access: The Federal Railroad Administration’s Corridor Identification and Development Program (Corridor ID) offers a historic opportunity to connect underserved communities and grow the national passenger rail network. AIPRO Rail supports competitive access to Corridor ID for qualified public and private-sector partners and the inclusion of long-distance and cross-regional routes in future corridor planning.
