Notice.
Summary
Under this Notice, the FRA encourages interested parties to attend a public, pre-application forum relating to grant(s) anticipated to be awarded as a result of the Next Generation High-Speed Rail Program, Demonstration of High Speed Positive Train Control System (HSPTC) (``Program'') to demonstrate advanced train control technology that can contribute to more effective train control systems for emerging high-speed passenger rail corridors in the United States. Thereafter, pending availability of appropriations, eligible applicants may submit applications for funding to demonstrate an advanced positive train control system for high-speed passenger rail service on a mixed passenger and freight corridor. Prospective applicants who are unable to attend the pre-application forum should obtain current information with respect to the Program from the FRA contact, as no further public notice will be made with respect to the Program.
