United States Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a $5 billion investment in the country’s rail system while visiting Cincinnati. The investment will be used across three phases and includes closing 30-grade crossings and upgrading another 1,000 to improve safety.
Cincinnati to Receive $40 Million Grant
Cincinnati will receive a $40 million grant to close two highway crossings in Fairfield, which Duffy identified as problem areas. The investment is part of a larger effort to improve passenger rail in America.
Duffy praised Ohio for delivering rail projects on time and on budget, but did not provide a specific timeline for when the projects would begin.
