The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is offering this Congressionally Directed grant to fund planning for the Atlanta to Savannah (ATL-SAV) Passenger Rail Corridor. This grant is for preparing a Service Development Plan (SDP) and an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The SDP will define the corridor’s purpose and need, analyze alternatives, and establish a governance structure. This foundational SDP work will lead to the EIS. The EIS, pursuant to NEPA, will ensure all environmental impacts are thoroughly assessed for informed decision-making, paving the way for the implementation and operation of the ATL-SAV intercity passenger rail service.

| Description: | This grant will fund the preparation of an SDP and EIS for the ATL-SAV Corridor in partnership with FRA. The main objectives of an SDP are to identify the draft purpose and need for intercity passenger rail development; incorporate an analysis of alternatives supported by technical transportation planning and conceptual engineering; incorporate a high-level analysis and consideration of environmental factors associated with the alternatives; include input provided through public involvement and relevant public agencies; and identify the governance structure for the implementation and operation of the ATL-SAV Corridor.
The SDP results in the identification of a corridor project inventory necessary to achieve the proposed service and serve as the foundation for initiating and preparing the EIS for the ATL-SAV Corridor. The primary purpose of the EIS, prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), is to ensure agencies consider the environmental impacts of their actions in decision making. |
