The grant is one of six projects in six states to replace aging passenger railcars to improve reliability, safety and accessibility to the nation’s rail transit systems, officials say.
Senator Brown and Congresswoman Brown both toured the the Cleveland Central Rail Facility before announcing the Biden-Harris administration granted GCRTA $130 million to replace old passenger rail vehicles.
“Replacing these ancient rail cars will save taxpayers money, keep workers on the job, and improve service for Clevelanders. If you’re an hourly worker, whether a train is on-time can mean the difference between making your shift or not,” said Senator Brown. The Department of Transportation says the Rail Vehicle Replacement Program was created to improve safety, service, and the customer experience on subways, commuter and light rail systems.
The grant was funded by the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which dispersed $703 million in grant awards. GCRTA’s rail lines provide more than 12,000 trips every weekday, and the agency’s ridership totaled 18.8 million in 2022 across all bus and rail routes.
