ND Legislature allocates $150,000 for passenger rail service project
May 23, 2025/
Dave Strohmaier, chair of the Big Sky Passenger Rail Authority, said the $150,000 will be part of a new $11 million grant agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration. As part of the agreement, $1.1 million is needed to match the federal dollars.
Strohmaier said on Wednesday, May 14, that North Dakota is the first state to allocate funding for the $11 million grant agreement. He said a few states’ legislatures are still in session and working on their budgets.
“Everybody has been positive, wishing it was done tomorrow or yesterday,” said Jamestown City Councilman David Steele.
