The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) recently announced that it would issue a $962,240 grant to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) to complete preliminary environmental and engineering studies for a 35-mile segment of a proposed magnetic levitation (maglev) passenger-train corridor between Las Vegas and Primm, Nev.

Among the factors to be studied: regional and local planning goals; current and future demographics and land use, growth and development patterns; as well as existing and planned transportation facilities and services, according to FRA.
