The FY25 National Network IIJA Supplemental Cooperative Agreement to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) is a funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration. This opportunity provides $3,128,000,000 in supplemental funds for Amtrak, pursuant to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58). These funds are intended to support key projects related to Amtrak’s National Network, including the replacement of single-level passenger rolling stock, addressing deferred capital work such as obsolete assets, and ensuring that Amtrak-served stations are in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Amtrak is the sole eligible applicant for this cooperative agreement. In order to access the funds, Amtrak must complete a grant application by the October 28, 2024, deadline. Required documentation includes the Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424), assurances for both non-construction and construction programs (SF 424B and SF 424D), a detailed statement of work, and signed certifications from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
This program is designed to ensure that Amtrak can continue to maintain and improve its services, infrastructure, and accessibility, which are crucial for the national transportation network. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and the award ceiling matches the total available funding of $3,128,000,000. All applications must be submitted electronically, and further details on the process are available through the Federal Railroad Administration’s website.
