Opportunity Information: Apply for FR AMT 24 006
The FY24 National Network IIJA Supplemental Cooperative Agreement to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Public Law 117-58 (enacted November 15, 2021). Through this notice, FRA is making available a total of $3,128,000,000 in FY24 supplemental funding specifically to Amtrak to support capital investments across Amtrak's National Network. The intent is to address major asset and infrastructure needs that affect passenger rail service reliability, safety, accessibility, and long-term state of good repair.
The funding is aimed at several core purposes. A key focus is the replacement of Amtrak's single-level passenger rolling stock used on the National Network, which generally refers to standard-height passenger cars (as opposed to bilevel equipment) that are used on many intercity routes. The opportunity also targets the backlog of deferred capital work, including the replacement or rehabilitation of obsolete and backlogged assets. In practical terms, this language covers overdue capital projects that have been postponed over time and now require significant investment to restore or modernize critical equipment, facilities, and related systems. In addition, the funding supports activities needed to bring Amtrak-served stations into full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). That can include accessibility upgrades such as platform and boarding improvements, accessible routes and entrances, ramps or elevators where needed, tactile warnings, accessible restrooms, signage, and other features required to ensure equal access for passengers with disabilities. The notice also allows use of the funds for other appropriate costs required to carry out projects, giving FRA and Amtrak flexibility to cover legitimate project-related expenses that are necessary to deliver the intended improvements.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. While both are financial assistance instruments, a cooperative agreement typically reflects that FRA expects to have substantial involvement in the project activities, oversight, or coordination during implementation. The listing is associated with CFDA number 20.315 and falls under the transportation activity category.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow: Amtrak is the only entity eligible to apply, and the opportunity anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling equal to the full amount available, $3,128,000,000. The opportunity number is FR-AMT-24-006, and it was created on February 14, 2024, with an original closing date of February 28, 2024.
To access the funds, Amtrak must complete and submit an application package electronically. The required items include the Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424), the SF-424B Assurances for Non-Construction Programs, the SF-424D Assurances for Construction Programs, and a Statement of Work describing the activities to be undertaken. In addition, Amtrak must submit signed copies of the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration Assurances and Certification forms, which are provided by FRA at http://www.fra.dot.gov/downloads/admin/assurancesandcertifications.pdf. Collectively, these documents are meant to formalize the scope of planned work, confirm compliance with federal requirements, and establish the terms under which FRA will provide and oversee the supplemental IIJA funding for National Network improvements.Apply for FR AMT 24 006
