Opportunity Information: Apply for FR AMT 23 003
The FY23 Northeast Corridor Commission (NECC) Project is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). It supports the work required under Section 212 of the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA), which established the Northeast Corridor Commission (NEC Commission). The core purpose of the Commission, as defined in the statute, is to promote mutual cooperation and coordinated planning related to rail operations and associated activities along the Northeast Corridor, one of the most heavily used passenger rail corridors in the country.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the supported activities (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically operates with more independence). The funding is tied to transportation planning and coordination functions that the NEC Commission is legally required to produce. Those statutory deliverables include a statement of goals for the Northeast Corridor, recommendations connected to corridor operations and planning, work related to determining and addressing access costs, and a report focused on Northeast Corridor economic development. In practical terms, the award is meant to underwrite the administrative, technical, analytical, and coordination work needed to produce those required outputs and keep the Commission functioning effectively.
The Commission itself is a multi-stakeholder governance and planning body with 18 voting members, designed to reflect the key public-sector and operator interests along the corridor. Membership includes nine representatives from the eight Northeast Corridor states plus the District of Columbia, five representatives from the U.S. Department of Transportation, and four representatives from Amtrak. That structure matters for understanding the grant because it highlights that the funded work is inherently collaborative and interstate in nature, sitting at the intersection of state transportation priorities, federal oversight, and Amtrak operational realities.
From the funding details provided, the opportunity number is FR AMT 23 003 and the associated CFDA number is 20.315. The award ceiling is $6,000,091, and the FRA anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), suggesting this funding was intended to support one primary recipient responsible for executing the Commission-related project scope on behalf of the broader NEC Commission framework. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with the note to consult additional eligibility instructions in the full announcement, which typically indicates that eligibility may be limited to a specific type of entity (for example, a particular organization designated to support the Commission) or otherwise defined by program-specific criteria rather than broad public eligibility.
Key dates show the opportunity was created on January 20, 2023, with an original closing date of February 2, 2023. Overall, this is a targeted, relatively time-bounded solicitation aimed at ensuring the NEC Commission can meet PRIIA Section 212 requirements through structured planning, cost and policy analysis, and formal reporting that supports coordinated decision-making for passenger rail operations and related investments on the Northeast Corridor.Apply for FR AMT 23 003
