It look like last year money 1.8 Billion Dollars. Great that Amtrak is getting the same amount of money.
Here is a brief synopsis I found (it was hard to find anything at all):
The House did provide significant funding for Amtrak - $1.80B, a program they have tried to zero out in the past, including adding an additional $500M for Amtrak bridges and tunnels.
So around $1.3B for operating expenses and for buying new equipment, roughly the same as now.
The Transportation Bill 2012 was signed into Law on Sat July 7, 2012 for the next 2 years. What does this mean to Amtrak Funding Good or Bad? I hope this bill gives amtrak little more Money for the next 2 year buying more new cars and other stuff amtrak needs?
