Which is what Corridor ID is all about. It was established to help some of those states to create a Service Development Plan as well as Tier I EIS, to get some of these projects into the funding pipeline.
Corridor ID is in the middle of Expressions of Interest,
which can be found here.
And a project like 3C+D is all but a done deal, provided DeWine actually commits to funding operating subsidies after year 5 or 6. They still seem content to string Amtrak along ATM.
