The Dubuque Intermodal Transportation Center(DITC) is a bus station located in Dubuque, Iowa. It serves as the new transfer center for Dubuque's bus system, between Jule buses and intercity buses serving Dubuque, and as a transfer point between other modes of land transportation. [1]
The center was intended to be the western terminal of the Black Hawk , a Chicago–Rockford–Dubuque Amtrak intercity rail route. [2] The city of Dubuque received an $8 million FTA state of good repair grant in addition to grants from several area institutions to go towards phase 1 of the center's construction. Phase 2 was planned to be funded by a TIGER V grant. [3] That grant application failed, but alternative funding came from several other sources. On April 10, 2014, a new proposal for Amtrak service to terminate in Rockford was announced following the inability of the state of Illinois to reach a deal with the Canadian National Railway for use of their tracks. Due to the new proposal, the train station component of the center was placed on hold until a deal could be reached with the CN. [4] The city of Dubuque broke ground on the rest of the DITC project in May 2014. [5] The center, except for the train station portion, opened on August 17, 2015. [6]

Plans for high-speed rail in the United States date back to the High-Speed Ground Transportation Act of 1965. Various state and federal proposals have followed. Despite being one of the world's first countries to get high-speed trains, it failed to spread. Definitions of what constitutes high-speed rail vary, including a range of speeds over 110 mph (180 km/h) and dedicated rail lines. Inter-city rail with top speeds between 90 and 125 mph is sometimes referred to in the United States as higher-speed rail.
