Improving the railroad network in our state is vitally important to helping to grow North Dakota’s economy.” The North Dakota delegation wrote a letter earlier this year to the Department of Transportation to help secure the grant.

This funding was made available through the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) grant program to ensure rail transportation remains safe and reliable. This will be the third consecutive round of CRISI that RRVW has been awarded. -###- | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:55:29Z |
