Moulton's office says he led a bipartisan letter to House THUD appropriators urging full FY2027 funding for Amtrak and passenger rail at IIJA-authorized levels, with 116 House members signing. The listed request included $4.4 billion for Amtrak, $1 billion for CRISI, $50 million for Restoration and Enhancement, $1.5 billion for Federal-State Partnership grants, and $500 million for Railroad Crossing Elimination.

Direct official evidence that Moulton supported the promised FY2027 Amtrak and passenger rail funding levels through a concrete appropriations request.

The IIJA authorized FY2026 annual levels including $1.4 billion for Amtrak Northeast Corridor grants, $3.0 billion for National Network grants, $1.0 billion for CRISI, $500 million for Railroad Crossing Elimination, $50 million for Restoration and Enhancement, and $1.5 billion for Federal-State Partnership grants.

Official law text confirms the IIJA benchmark amounts that Moulton's FY2027 request sought to maintain or exceed.

The House Appropriations full committee mark proposed $650 million for Amtrak Northeast Corridor grants and $1.45 billion for National Network grants, below the IIJA FY2026 benchmark amounts Moulton had requested for FY2027.

Shows Moulton's requested full Amtrak levels were not included in the House committee mark, but this does not negate that he fulfilled the narrower promise to support them.
