Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021
Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021 April 2016 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission (the Commission) to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non-voting representatives from four freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region.

Its eight commuter rail operators deliver hundreds of thousands of workers to some of the most productive economic centers in the country each day. -

The new station will include improved lighting, level-boarding platforms, overhead canopy, elevators, a passenger connection for crossing the tracks, and track re-alignment. These station improvements, provided by the Statewide Keystone Corridor Line Item, will move the Keystone Corridor towards full ADA accessibility, and provide an improved environment to foster increased ridership. The Coatesville Station located in Chester County is a component of the Keystone Corridor rail service between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. There are approximately seven Amtrak stops per day at the Coatesville Station. The Keystone line has multiple tracks, full electrification, and almost complete grade separation from the highway grid. Speed on the line is now up to 110 mph. This is a Keystone Corridor project totaling approximately $65 million and is funded with federal Keystone Corridor funds provided by FTA which will be reflected in TIPs of three different UZA areas: DVRPC ($9,759,000), Harrisburg Area Transportation Study ($12,671,000), and Lancaster MPO ($20,884,000). $21,237,000 has already been placed into a grant.
