## What this funds

FRA's Grants to Amtrak provide capital, operating, and debt service funding to Amtrak, as well as support FRA's management and oversight of Amtrak. These funds support Amtrak's three primary service lines - Northeast Corridor, State-Supported, and Long Distance - and costs associated with managing other passenger and freight rail operator access to Amtrak's infrastructure and Amtrak corporate operations. As authorized by statute, the Secretary may withhold up to $6 million from the Northeast Corridor account for the Northeast Corridor Commission, up to $3 million from the National Network account for the State-Supported Route Committee, up to $3 million from the National Network account for Interstate Rail Compacts grants, and at least $50 million from both the Northeast Corridor and National Network accounts for grants to Amtrak to make accessibility upgrades pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Amtrak may also use up to 10 percent of the amounts made available from the National Network account for planning, capital, and operating costs for Amtrak-operated corridors selected under the Corridor Identification and Development Program; however, FRA anticipates the vast majority of Amtrak's FY 2027 annual funds to be used for its core capital and operating needs. While FRA intends to fund the set-asides for the Northeast Corridor Commission and State-Supported Route Committee, the FY 2027 President's Budget does not include further funding for Interstate Rail Compacts grants. As of February 2026, FRA has more than $13 million in Interstate Rail Compacts funding from Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) advance appropriations available for future awards under the program. This balance is sufficient to cover the program's needs for the foreseeable future.
