The grant will go toward two projects.
One of the projects will improve the mudslide zone between Everett and Seattle. Slides during the winter months routinely cancel Sounder passenger rail service and freight trains.Part of the $3.8 million granted for the project will also go to improving the existing slide fence alert system that notifies dispatchers and train crews about debris on the tracks, and improving drainage along the tracks.
A second project in the Pacific Northwest high-speed rail corridor between Tacoma, Lakewood and DuPont will receive up to $10 million.
