With talk swirling around the prospect of a big federal infrastructure investment and Amtrak’s more proactive stance toward service expansion, the time seems right to push forward projects high on the wish list.

 A TMACOG study completed in 2019 made a strong case for development of a Toledo-Detroit-Ann Arbor rail service with a major hub at the DTW Airport and the potential to expand northward to reach additional destinations in Michigan along the proposed Ann Arbor to Traverse City (A2TC) route.

“This Corridor Development Program is a major policy shift for Amtrak. Since it began in 1971, Amtrak has been largely reactive and not proactive when it comes to its growth. This policy shift is very welcome and long overdue when it comes to dealing with states like Ohio that have almost no service and thus almost no political constituency to create a passenger rail development program. We hope that Congress will authorize and fully fund this Corridor Development Program.”
