Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The proposed corridor would better connect Long Island, NY, to the National Intercity Passenger Train Network by extending three existing daily AMTRAK Northeast Regional round trips between Washington, D.C., and New York, NY, east to Ronkonkoma, NY, with stops at Jamaica (Queens, NY) and Hicksville, NY.
The proposed corridor would entail track, station, and infrastructure upgrades to accommodate these trains and better integrate AMTRAK service with existing Long Island Railroad commuter service.
Using the Service Development Plan (SDP) SOW framework, the corridor sponsor will develop a Project Performance Plan (Task 1.1), existing planning and development materials (Task 2.1), Statement of Work (Task 2.2), approved project schedule (Task 2.3), approved project budget (Task 2.4).
The outcome of this project will be the completed Service Development Plan for the AMTRAK to Long Island corridor.
The proposed corridor will serve communities between New York, NY and Ronkonkoma, NY.
