SUMMARY:Looking Down the Tracks: A Case for More Predictable Intercity Passenger Rail Funding
DESCRIPTION:When the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) expires in September 2026\, federal funding for intercity passenger rail could revert to the unstable\, short-term model that historically defined the program. \nFor decades\, federal support for Amtrak has relied primarily on annual appropriations without a dedicated revenue source — creating uncertainty for long-term planning\, capital investment\, and service expansion. The IIJA marked a significant shift\, providing $66 billion for passenger rail over five years and introducing a more predictable federal commitment. \nIn the recent Eno report\, Looking Down the Tracks: A Case for More Predictable Intercity Passenger Rail Funding\, Rebecca Higgins examines the structural challenges of the past funding model and outlines a path toward a durable\, long-term federal strategy. In this webinar\, hosted by the High Speed Rail Alliance\, Higgins shares Eno’s analysis and discusses how a more stable funding framework could improve efficiency\, sustain ridership growth\, and support investments befitting the growing importance of passenger rail in the national transportation system. \nRegister Now
