The federal government finances railroads primarily through grants and loans, often administered by agencies like the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Funding can also come from initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure, such as the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program. Additionally, public-private partnerships and investments from the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program may support various rail projects. These financial mechanisms help enhance safety, efficiency, and connectivity of the national rail network.
