COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado â President Biden s infrastructure legislation would benefit plans to build a commuter rail service along Colorado s Front Range. The $2.2 trillion American Jobs Plan includes $80 billion specifically for rail improvements.
The CEO of Amtrak, Bill Flynn, said in a news release that the legislation will help his company rebuild and improve its national rail network. Amtrak released a 15-year plan to repair, upgrade and expand passenger rail service to 160 new communities including a new service route connecting Pueblo to Cheyenne, Wyoming. With this federal investment, Amtrak will create jobs and improve equity across cities, regions, and the entire country â and we are ready to deliver, Flynn said.
