The Federal Railroad Administration awarded National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) a $379,562,566 cooperative agreement on October 1, 2025, under the National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants program (CFDA 20.315) to maintain safe national passenger rail operations on the Northeast Corridor and pursue activities that support efficient intercity service while addressing federal operating requirements and mandates.

The funding supports Northeast Corridor intercity operations and work providing shared benefit across the Northeast Corridor and National Network, including operating expenses, fleet maintenance, capital expansion, and federal compliance activities. Performance extends through January 31, 2029, with place of performance in Washington, DC.

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation Grants program provides financial assistance to support operation of and capital investment in intercity passenger rail service in the United States. FRA executes grant agreements with Amtrak to support operating expenses, capital maintenance of fleet and infrastructure, capital expansion and investment programs, and capital debt repayment, funded through congressional appropriations combined with operating revenues and funds from states, local governments, and other entities.

The general objective of the program funded through this agreement is for amtrak to maintain continued safe national passenger rail operations, to pursue activities that support efficient service to intercity passenger rail ridership, and to address and comply with all specified federal operating requirements and mandates on regions outside the national network (NN), known as the ?northeast corridor" (NEC). This includes NEC intercity operations, and in many cases, this will include work that provides a shared benefit across the NEC and national network.
