Opportunity Information: Apply for FR AMT 25 002
The FY25 National Network IIJA Supplemental Cooperative Agreement to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation is a discretionary funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). It is issued under the authority of Public Law 117-58, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), enacted on November 15, 2021. Through this action, the FRA will make available a total of $3,128,000,000 in supplemental funding (identified in the notice as FY24 supplemental funds) to support Amtrak's National Network needs. The assistance will be provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the FRA expects to remain substantially involved in the oversight, coordination, or monitoring of the funded work as compared with a standard grant.
The funding is intended to address several major categories of capital needs across Amtrak's National Network. A primary focus is the replacement of single-level passenger rolling stock, which typically refers to passenger railcars that are not bi-level and that may be reaching the end of their useful life, creating reliability issues and higher maintenance costs. In addition to rolling stock replacement, the funds can be used to reduce the backlog of deferred capital work, including the renewal or replacement of obsolete assets that have accumulated due to underinvestment or aging infrastructure and equipment. The opportunity also explicitly supports activities to bring Amtrak-served stations into full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which can include accessibility upgrades such as platform modifications, accessible routes, elevators or ramps, tactile warnings, signage, and other station improvements needed to meet federal accessibility standards. The notice also allows for other appropriate costs required to carry out projects, signaling some flexibility for necessary supporting expenses tied to the eligible capital work.
Eligibility is extremely limited: Amtrak is the only entity permitted to apply, and the opportunity anticipates a single award. The award ceiling is listed as $3,128,000,000, matching the total amount described, and the expected number of awards is one. The opportunity is categorized under transportation and is associated with CFDA number 20.315. The funding opportunity title is "FY25 National Network IIJA Supplemental Cooperative Agreement to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation," and the funding opportunity number is FR-AMT-25-002.
To receive the funds, Amtrak must submit a complete application package electronically. The required submission components include the Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424), the SF-424B Assurances for Non-Construction Programs, and the SF-424D Assurances for Construction Programs. Amtrak must also provide a Statement of Work describing what will be done with the funds, along with signed copies of the U.S. DOT FRA Assurances and Certification forms, which are referenced in the notice via the FRA link (http://www.fra.dot.gov/downloads/admin/assurancesandcertifications.pdf). These documents collectively establish the project scope, confirm compliance commitments, and provide the standard federal certifications needed for award execution.
Key administrative details from the notice include an original closing date of October 28, 2024, and a creation date of October 21, 2024. In practical terms, this opportunity is essentially a dedicated IIJA supplemental funding vehicle for Amtrak to modernize and renew critical National Network assets, reduce deferred maintenance and obsolete equipment backlogs, and advance ADA accessibility improvements at stations Amtrak serves, with the FRA providing the federal funding and cooperative oversight framework for the resulting program of work.Apply for FR AMT 25 002
