The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is offering $1.189 billion in supplemental funding to Amtrak, provided through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). This significant grant targets vital activities within the Northeast Corridor (NEC). Its primary objectives include the acquisition of new rolling stock and facility upgrades, addressing deferred capital work, and undertaking capital renewal for backlogged projects. A crucial component of this funding is dedicated to ensuring Amtrak-served stations achieve full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These funds can also serve as the non-federal share or match for other eligible NEC projects. Amtrak must submit a comprehensive grant application by October 28, 2024.
