(click on the map for a larger view)

As of January 2002, the FRA has designated ten high-speed corridors under section 1010 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Act of 1991 (ISTEA) and Section 1103(c) of the Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). Designation allows a corridor to receive specially targeted funding for highway-rail grade crossing safety improvements, and recognizes the corridor as a potential center of HSR activity. These designated corridors are shown on the map at the beginning of this document and are listed below, generally from Southwest to Northeast.

California Corridor

Pacific Northwest Corridor

South Central Corridor

Gulf Coast Corridor

Chicago Hub Network
