Opportunity Information: Apply for FR CCD 23 007
The FY24 Newport News Transportation Center funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR CCD 23 007) is a discretionary grant administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), under CFDA 20.325. It is a congressionally directed award intended to support development of the Newport News Transportation Center Project (NNTC), a major passenger rail and intermodal facility investment in Newport News, Virginia. While the overall NNTC effort is described as a 53 million dollar project, this specific federal grant opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,200,000, with a single award expected.
The project scope centers on constructing a new Amtrak station and associated rail and intermodal infrastructure. The planned station is an 8,066 square foot facility that includes an onsite turning wye, a drop-off loop, parking, an ADA-compliant boarding platform, a bus loop, and other site amenities designed to support passenger access and transfers between modes. In addition to the passenger station, the project includes a separate service facility roughly one mile away from the main station site at 13200 Warwick Springs Dr. That service component includes a 3,000 square foot maintenance building and two 1,000 foot service tracks, which are intended to support day-to-day operations and maintenance needs for passenger rail service.
A key rail infrastructure element is approximately two miles of new trackwork to connect the station and service facility with dedicated Amtrak rail. About 1.5 miles of that new trackage would be located within the CSXT railroad right-of-way, indicating coordination and construction within an existing freight rail corridor. This track connection is meant to link the two project sites and enable the intended operational movements between passenger service and the maintenance/service area.
Eligibility is effectively restricted: although the general eligible applicant categories listed include state governments and others, the opportunity description makes clear that this is a congressionally directed grant to the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA), and VPRA is the only entity permitted to apply. The opportunity was created on May 29, 2024, with an original closing date of June 9, 2024, and it is structured as a grant (not a loan or cooperative agreement) with one expected recipient.Apply for FR CCD 23 007
