Opportunity Information: Apply for FR CCD 23 009
The FY23 Metter-Register Rail Upgrades opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR CCD 23 009) is a discretionary transportation grant administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) under CFDA 20.325. It is a Congressionally-directed award intended to fund a specific rail infrastructure rehabilitation project in Georgia, focused on improving the condition and safe operation of a short line freight corridor serving communities in Candler County.
The funded work centers on rehabilitating approximately 12.3 miles of Georgia Southern short line freight track between milepost (MP) 73.65 and MP 85.95, covering the segment between Metter and Register, Georgia. The scope includes several targeted infrastructure fixes: replacement of a metal culvert, repairs to 32 steel H-piles on a bridge located at MP 84.0, and safety improvements at two community grade crossings along the route. The overall purpose of these upgrades is to support safe daytime freight operations and enable reliable train movements at 10 mph, which typically reflects a need to restore or maintain track and structure conditions adequate for that operating speed while reducing risk at public crossings.
Funding for this opportunity is capped at an award ceiling of $1,126,000, with the program expecting to make a single award. The posting was created on January 23, 2025, and the original application closing date is February 28, 2025. Because this is explicitly designated as a Congressionally-directed grant, eligibility is narrowly restricted: the Candler County Industrial Authority is the only applicant permitted to apply and receive the award.Apply for FR CCD 23 009
