HSIPR Project Funding

The High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program (HSIPR) is the President’s vision for building a network of passenger rail services to connect communities and economic centers across the country. A fully developed passenger rail system will complement highway, aviation and public transit systems. Funding for HSIPR will come from different federal sources, including the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) which supplied the $8 billion down payment to start the program, and general appropriations.
