Rep. Amo's office says Rhode Island's delegation, including Amo, steered $13,500,000 in federal funding to RIDOT for Providence Ferry Terminal upgrades, including a permanent ticketing pavilion, restrooms, waiting area, parking, stormwater, floating docks, ADA-compliant gangways, and sea wall repairs. Amo is quoted saying the funding will improve accessibility and the passenger experience and that he will keep working in Washington to bring home funding to help Rhode Islanders experience the state.

The City of East Providence posted Amo's announcement that he secured $7,904,413 in federal Community Project Funding for 11 Rhode Island First District projects, including clean water, law enforcement, public safety, ocean innovation, and $1,031,000 for the Providence River Debris Removal Project. The posting also says he had secured $547,000 for Jamestown Senior Center improvements and still had three projects pending before Appropriations.
Assessments
The promise was to keep working in Washington to bring home funding that helps Rhode Islanders experience Rhode Island. During Amo's current federal House term, his delegation announced $13.5 million for Providence Ferry Terminal upgrades directly tied to access, accessibility, and passenger experience, with Amo credited as part of the delegation. Additional same-term Community Project Funding further supports that he materially pursued and obtained federal money for Rhode Island projects. Because the promised outcome was broad and funding was secured while he remained in office, this counts as delivered in the same term.
