Opportunity Information: Apply for FR AMT 24 005
The FY24 Northeast Corridor IIJA Supplemental Cooperative Agreement to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Funding Opportunity Number FR AMT 24 005) is a U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) discretionary cooperative agreement that provides Amtrak with $1,189,000,000 in FY24 supplemental funding authorized under Public Law 117-58, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), enacted November 15, 2021. The funding is intended specifically for work tied to Amtrak service on the Northeast Corridor (NEC) and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals a closer working relationship between FRA and the recipient during execution compared with a standard grant.
The purpose of the award is to support a set of capital-focused activities on the NEC. Eligible uses highlighted in the notice include acquiring NEC rolling stock (trainsets and related equipment), completing facilities work that represents deferred capital needs that benefit the corridor, and renewing capital assets by addressing backlogged projects. A major emphasis is also placed on accessibility: the funds can be used for activities that bring Amtrak-served stations into full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In addition to those direct capital uses, the opportunity explicitly allows other eligible IIJA supplemental uses, including applying these grant funds as the non-federal cost share or match for NEC projects that are selected for award under 49 U.S.C. 24911(f) after IIJA was enacted.
Eligibility is limited to a single applicant: Amtrak is the only entity that can apply. Consistent with that, the opportunity anticipates one award, with an award ceiling equal to the full $1.189 billion amount, indicating that the program is designed to pass through the entire specified supplemental funding amount to Amtrak through this instrument rather than making multiple competitive awards to different recipients.
To access the funds, Amtrak must complete and submit a standard federal application package electronically. Required components include the Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424), SF-424B (Assurances for Non-Construction Programs), SF-424D (Assurances for Construction Programs), a Statement of Work describing the planned activities, and signed copies of FRA’s Assurances and Certification forms (referenced via the FRA link provided in the notice). The opportunity was created on February 14, 2024, and lists an original closing date of February 28, 2024. The program is listed under CFDA number 20.315 and falls under the transportation funding activity category administered by FRA.Apply for FR AMT 24 005
