The High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program (HSIPR) is the federal program to fund
the construction of a network of passenger rail services to connect communities and
economic centers across the country. A fully developed passenger rail system will
complement highway, aviation and public transit systems. Funding for HSIPR will come
from different federal sources, including the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) which supplied the $8 billion down payment to start the program, and general
appropriations.
