The Dubuque Intermodal Transportation Center (DITC) is a proposed passenger transit hub located in Dubuque, Iowa, and will serve a new Chicago-Rockford-Dubuque Amtrak route that is expected to begin operation in late 2014 or early 2015.[1] The center will also serve as the new transfer center for Dubuque's bus system, as well as intercity buses serving Dubuque.[2] The city of Dubuque has 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 is planned to be funded by a TIGER V grant.[3] 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 is on hold until a deal can be reached with the CN.[4] The city of Dubuque broke ground on the rest of the DITC project in May 2014.[5]
