The Dubuque Intermodal Transportation Center (DITC) is a passenger transit hub located in Dubuque, Iowa, that 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] It is eventually hoped that the center will serve as the terminus for a new Chicago–Rockford–Dubuque Amtrak route that was expected to begin operation in late 2014 or early 2015,[2] but was placed on indefinite hold due to Illinois' budget woes. 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 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 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] The center, except for the train station portion, opened on August 17, 2015.[6] A new transportation bill was passed by the state legislature in July 2019, supported by Governor J.B. Pritzker, with $275 million appropriated to begin the service.[7]
