The agreement supports intercity passenger rail operations by monitoring federal legislative efforts and funding opportunities.
The original agreement was executed for a not-to-exceed amount of $50,000, through June 30, 2025. Amendment No. 1 was subsequently executed administratively to extend the term through June 30, 2026, and increase the not-to-exceed amount by $40,000, for a total authorized amount of $90,000.
