Opportunity Information: Apply for FR RLD 24 001
The FY23 State-Amtrak Intercity Passenger Rail Committee (SAIPRC) grant (Funding Opportunity Number FR RLD 24 001) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). It is structured as a grant under CFDA 20.314 and is categorized within the transportation funding activity area. The opportunity was posted on October 18, 2023, with an original application deadline of October 25, 2023, indicating a short turnaround typical of targeted, committee-support or continuation-style awards.
The purpose of this funding is to support the work of the State-Amtrak Intercity Passenger Rail Committee in implementing Section 209, which is the framework used to manage and coordinate cost allocation and related responsibilities for certain Amtrak-operated routes supported by states. The grant is designed to fund analytical work, strategic planning, and administrative support that helps SAIPRC members carry out their responsibilities effectively. In practical terms, the intent is to provide the committee with the technical and organizational capacity needed to analyze cost and performance questions, plan and manage ongoing Section 209 implementation tasks, and maintain the administrative backbone required for committee operations and coordination.
The description specifies that, upon receiving the award, the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA) will work in full cooperation with SAIPRC Officers to select a contractor and then use the grant funds to pay that contractor for the required support services. The contractor is expected to provide a mix of technical and facilitation functions: analytical support (such as data analysis, cost allocation review, performance metrics work, or other evaluations tied to Section 209), strategic planning support (helping the committee set priorities, plan work programs, and structure decision-making), and administrative support (meeting coordination, documentation, scheduling, and other operational tasks). The overall goal is to strengthen and streamline the working relationship among the state SAIPRC members, Amtrak, and the FRA by ensuring the committee has dedicated, professional support to manage complex intergovernmental and interorganizational issues.
In terms of funding scale and competitiveness, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $9,435,000 and anticipates a single award, suggesting the FRA intended to fund one lead entity to manage the contractor selection and deliver committee-wide support rather than issuing multiple smaller awards to different recipients. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement; however, the narrative makes clear that NNEPRA is the entity expected to receive the award and administer the contractor-supported work in coordination with SAIPRC leadership.Apply for FR RLD 24 001
