In December 2023, the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) was amended to include Virginia Public Rail Association project (UPC 20299/120532) which funds the operational expenses of a state supported Amtrak operations in the Roanoke Valley. The new project “Transforming Rail in Virginia/VPRA” is to be added to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for federal fiscal years 2024-2027. This project funds the capital construction costs associate with Amtrak operations.
