After the first round of WI & OH HSIPR fund reallocations, and the second round of FL HSR reallocations (which included re-allocations of the FL reallocation!), it is rather confusing to keep track of where the $10.1 billion ($8 billion stimulus + $2.1 billion FY10) of HSIPR funds ended up. I was checking the FRA website and found that they have released a new updated 8 page summary table (with small print) of the selected HSIPR grants including all the re-allocated projects at http://www.fra.dot.gov/rpd/downloads/Master_HSIPR_Selection_Sheet.pdf Hopefully, there won't be any more major re-distribution rounds, although the Iowa City service extension is still in question.
The link to the PDF file along with the table of obligated funds which stands today at 52 projects and $5.81 billion can be found at http://www.fra.dot.gov/rpd/HSIPR/462.shtml
Thought I would post the link for those who want to keep track of which projects were selected and for how much. Since the typical construction project application has a built-in 20% reserve, if a project comes in on or close to budget, the reserves would be available to be put towards other projects on the corridor or in other corridor projects. So it is likely that there will be some additional shifting around of these fund amounts over the next few years until the authorizations expire.
