About this buyer

Maintains the 2025 Statewide Rail Plan, accepted by the FRA in September 2025, which lists funded and proposed projects so that Kentucky railroads can qualify for federal rail grants. The rail plan says the state has no dedicated source of consistent rail funding, but since 2024 the state budget has funded two annual grant pilots, for short lines (KSLIP) and for industrial rail access and safety (KIASI), each matched at least 50 per cent by the applicant.
