Opportunity Information: Apply for FR AMT 16 007
This grant opportunity, titled "Supplemental for Amtrak FY 2016 Capital and Debt Service and Americans with Disabilities Act Grant," is a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). It was created on November 1, 2017, with an application closing date of November 22, 2017. The program is tied to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113), which directs FRA to make a one-time supplemental funding amount available specifically to Amtrak.
The purpose of the award is narrowly defined: up to $2,000,000 is provided to support Amtrak costs related to capital needs and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In practical terms, this means the funds are intended for eligible capital expenses and ADA-related improvements or activities that help ensure accessibility and compliance with federal disability requirements. The funding remains available for use until December 31, 2018, or until all funds are spent, whichever happens first. The opportunity anticipates a single award, reflecting that it is structured as a targeted supplemental allocation rather than a competitive program for multiple recipients.
Eligibility is effectively limited to Amtrak. While the listing uses the broad category "Others" under eligible applicants, the accompanying description makes clear that the FRA is making these funds available to Amtrak pursuant to statute, and the opportunity is designed around Amtrak receiving the award. To access the funding, Amtrak is required to submit a completed grant application along with the applicable standard federal forms, consistent with normal federal grant processing requirements.
Administrative details included in the notice identify the opportunity number as FR-AMT-16-007, the funding instrument type as a grant, the activity category as transportation, and the associated CFDA number as 20.315. The award ceiling is $2,000,000, and the expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is a supplemental, single-recipient grant for a defined set of capital and ADA-related purposes within the specified period of availability.Apply for FR AMT 16 007
