T. F. Green Airport Station is an intermodal station under development in Warwick, Rhode Island on the Northeast Corridor, extending the Providence/Stoughton Line south from Providence.
As its name implies the station's primary purpose is to bring passengers and employees to and from Providence's T. F. Green Airport (PVD), but it will also serve local commuters to Providence and Boston, Massachusetts.
The new station is expected to cost $223 million and will include a four level, 3500 space garage with facilities for airport car rental companies and park and ride commuters. The station will be connected to the airport via an elevated 1200 foot (365 meter) long moving sidewalk. [1]
Amtrak trains are not expected to serve the station initially because there are not enough funds to build and electrify extra tracks that Amtrak says it needs to prevent delays.
Partial funding for the new station is contained in the 2005 Transportation Bill. The station's groundbreaking took place on Monday, July 17, 2006. The station is scheduled to open in late 2009. [2] [3]
