About this buyer

Named the State Rail Transportation Authority under the 2008 passenger rail law. Its Statewide Rail Plan 2024 was accepted by the FRA on 8 May 2025, with the next submission due in May 2029. It does not own track or trains: the state has no dedicated funding programme for freight or passenger rail, and Class I railroads fund their own capital. Its rail projects are the Upstate Express corridor project, serving Inland Port Greer, and the Assembly Street rail consolidation in Columbia, plus the federal Section 130 crossing-safety programme.
