advertisement
Earlier this week, Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa) wrote a letter to Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad asking him to fund a high-speed intercity passenger-rail project between Chicago and Iowa City.
Last fall, the Iowa Department of Transportation received $230 million in FY2010 transportation appropriations funds to create a new intercity passenger-rail service between Chicago and Iowa City via the Quad Cities by upgrading 131 miles of track to operate 79 mph trains. The grant requires Iowa to provide a $20 million matching grant.
