Bill > LD676

This bill provides a one-time allocation of $500 from the Federal Expenditures Fund to the Maine Department of Transportation's Multimodal Transportation Fund for the replacement of railroad tracks along the Mountain Division Rail corridor. Specifically, the funding will support track replacement on a 31-mile stretch of railway connecting the towns of Fryeburg and Standish, following recommendations from the Mountain Division Rail Use Advisory Council. The allocation is designated for fiscal year 2025-26, with no additional funding planned for the subsequent fiscal year. This targeted infrastructure investment aims to improve and maintain the existing rail infrastructure in the region, potentially enhancing transportation connectivity and supporting local transportation needs.
