The FY2027 President's Budget requests $2.80B for Total Budgetary Resources (base), within Transportation's Total Budgetary Resources (base) account. That is up 41% on the FY2026 figure of $1.98B, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027

| FY2026 | enacted | $1,984.4M |

Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Transportation discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Transportation's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The Federal Railroad Administration establishes and enforces railroad safety standards, invests in rail infrastructure and services including Amtrak, and conducts research to enable the safe, reliable, and efficient movement of people and goods.
Extracted from FRA, p. 2. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
