PRIIA Section 209 and State-Supported Services
The Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-432) required, by October 2013,
an equitable arrangement of cost sharing between Amtrak and state or public agency partners that provide
funding for short-distance, intercity train services. Agreements were reached with all parties, including
Missouri, by the deadline, and the services continued to run, confirming the importance of this service to
the state and its residents.
Amtrak operates two daily trains between St. Louis and Kansas City, the Missouri River Runners, under
contract, for the State of Missouri. Ridership on the Missouri River Runner trains reached 199,471 in
FY13, 1.8% higher than FY12.
Amtrak worked with the several Midwest state partners, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin, to
bring complimentary AmtrakConnect Wi-Fi service to customers on all short-distance corridors in those
states, in 2014.
Kansas City-St. Louis improvements
Missouri’s success at securing Federal grant funds to complement the state’s resources represents the
continuation of a multi-year trend dating back to 2008. In 2012, Missouri Department of Transportation
(MoDOT) was awarded a $22.6-million High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program grant to construct a
second bridge over the Osage River in Central Missouri, eliminating one of the most problematic rail
bottlenecks in the Midwest. The remainder of the $28 million cost was covered by the Union Pacific
Railroad, which owns the route. The second track allows for better performance of Missouri River
Runner trains which use the route. The project was completed in late 2013.

Station Improvements
Arcadia Valley: Amtrak is working with local officials to return passenger rail service to the AcadiaIronton area along the route of the Texas Eagle. The community has secured funding for the construction
of a new boarding platform and anticipates service beginning in mid-2016.
Hermann: Local officials held a ribbon-cutting for a new station on September 12, 2014. The depot was
funded through various sources, including the Federal Highway Administration (Transportation
Enhancements program), the City, and the Dierberg Educational Foundation, a local, non-profit
organization supporting projects to preserve the region’s cultural heritage.
