Vermont’s congressional delegation has announced a combined $1 million for the Agency of Transportation to develop long-range plans to improve and expand existing passenger rail services. The grants will help develop and enhance domestic and international Amtrak travel to Vermont. The Vermonter Corridor Project will assess project needs to improve existing Amtrak Vermonter service between major east coast travel hubs including improving reliability, and extending service to Montreal. The Green Mountain Corridor project will include planning and assessing project needs for establishing passenger rail to communities in southwestern Vermont through the Ethan Allen Express. In September, the Vermont Congressional Delegation called on Amtrak to work with the delegation to expand rail service in Vermont. The letter included a request to improve pre-clearance operations and construct new pre-clearance facilities between Vermont and Quebec.
