HR 10382 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend title 49, United States Code, to allow Amtrak to use grant funds to satisfy non-Federal share requirements of certain grant programs, and for other purposes.

HR 10382 allows Amtrak to use its own federal grant funds to cover the non-Federal share (local matching requirement) for three major rail grant programs: National Infrastructure Project Assistance, Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements, and Federal-State Partnership grants. This change directly affects Amtrak and state/local partners seeking federal rail funding, as it removes previous restrictions preventing Amtrak from using its own grant money for matching costs. The bill specifically permits Amtrak to apply funds from grants designated for the National Network or Northeast Corridor projects toward their required local share. This policy shift simplifies funding coordination for Amtrak-led rail projects without altering the total federal investment.
