Opportunity Information: Apply for FR RLD 23 001
The FY23 Supplemental State-Amtrak Intercity Passenger Rail Committee grant (Funding Opportunity Number FR RLD 23 001) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), focused on strengthening the work of the State-Amtrak Intercity Passenger Rail Committee (SAIPRC) as it carries out responsibilities tied to Section 209. Section 209 is the framework that governs how costs are determined and shared for certain Amtrak-operated intercity passenger rail services that are supported by states, so the practical aim of this grant is to improve the technical and administrative capacity behind that cost allocation process and the coordination that goes with it.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the FRA is expected to remain actively involved as the project moves forward rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The grant is designed to support the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA), which upon award will work in full cooperation with SAIPRC officers to select a contractor. The contractor would then provide analytical support (such as cost, performance, and funding analyses), strategic planning (helping map out priorities and approaches for implementing Section 209 requirements), and administrative support (coordination, documentation, and other operational assistance). In plain terms, the funding is intended to pay for expert, third-party support that helps SAIPRC members, Amtrak, and the FRA work more effectively together on the policies, calculations, and processes that underpin state-supported passenger rail services.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,565,000 and anticipates a single award. It falls under the transportation funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 20.314. The opportunity was created on June 2, 2023, and had an original closing date of June 9, 2023, indicating a short application window and reinforcing that it is targeted and specific in scope. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice, but the narrative makes clear that NNEPRA is the entity expected to receive the award and carry out the contractor selection and payment support functions in collaboration with SAIPRC leadership.
Overall, this grant is less about building physical rail infrastructure and more about improving the governance and implementation mechanics behind state-supported intercity passenger rail, especially the analytical and administrative backbone needed to apply Section 209 consistently and maintain a functional working relationship among states, Amtrak, and the federal government.Apply for FR RLD 23 001
