Opportunity Information: Apply for FR AMT 24 012
The FY23/24 Northeast Corridor Commission (NECC) Project is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), designed to support the work required under Section 212 of the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA). The underlying purpose of PRIIA Section 212 is to ensure there is a formal structure for coordinated planning and cooperation around passenger rail operations and related activities on the Northeast Corridor (NEC), one of the most heavily used passenger rail corridors in the country.
This opportunity would be awarded through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the FRA expects to remain actively involved in the execution and oversight of the funded work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funded activities align with the transportation focus of the program and are tied to CFDA number 20.315. In practical terms, the award is intended to resource the NEC Commission work products and ongoing coordination functions that PRIIA requires, including producing key statutory deliverables such as a statement of goals for the NEC, recommendations connected to corridor operations and planning, work associated with access costs, and a report addressing economic development related to the Northeast Corridor.
A central feature of the program is that eligibility is restricted to a single applicant: Amtrak. While many federal opportunities are open to states, local governments, or other transportation entities, this one is structured so that Amtrak is the only entity that can apply, reflecting Amtrak's formal role within the NEC Commission framework and its operational presence on the corridor. The NEC Commission itself is described as an 18-member body with voting members representing the NEC states and the District of Columbia, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and Amtrak. Specifically, nine voting members represent the eight NEC states and the District of Columbia, five represent USDOT, and four represent Amtrak. The Commission was established to "promote mutual cooperation and planning" concerning rail operations and related NEC activities, and the grant supports the work that turns that mandate into concrete plans, analyses, and reports.
From a funding and timing standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number FR AMT 24 012. It has an award ceiling of $18,351,521 and anticipates a single award, which matches the single-eligible-applicant structure. The original closing date for applications is September 4, 2024, and the opportunity was created on August 28, 2024. Overall, the program is best understood as targeted federal support for NEC-wide governance, planning, cost-related work, and required reporting, carried out through the NEC Commission structure with Amtrak serving as the sole eligible applicant for the cooperative agreement.Apply for FR AMT 24 012
