The House Appropriations page describes the listed materials as the current FY27 bill text and reports. For Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies, it lists a filed bill, H.R. 9170, a filed bill report, a full committee mark, and a bill report.

As of the available FY2027 House Appropriations materials, the relevant THUD appropriations measure was still presented as bill/report material rather than enacted legislation. This leaves the promise unresolved as of 2026-07-02.

Under “National Network Grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation,” the full committee mark states that grants for activities associated with the National Network would receive $1,450,000,000.

The House committee text proposes $1.45 billion for FY2027 Amtrak National Network grants, below the promised $3 billion threshold. Because this is committee bill text, not enacted law, it supports an unresolved outcome rather than delivery.

FY2027 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Full Committee Mark

The report states the committee recommendation for National Network Grants to Amtrak is $1,450,000,000, compared with a FY2026 appropriation of $1,577,000,000 and a FY2027 budget request of $1,450,000,000.

The official committee report confirms that the pending House recommendation is $1.45 billion, not at least $3 billion. It is evidence against completed delivery, but the FY2027 appropriations process was still open.

The report explains that IIJA authorizes National Network grants to Amtrak and that the National Network includes Amtrak’s state-supported and long-distance routes, as well as other non-NEC activities.

This identifies the relevant account and confirms that the National Network Grants account is the correct line item for judging the claim.

The FY27 markup schedule lists a May 21, 2026 subcommittee markup and a June 3, 2026 full committee markup for the FY2027 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies bill.

The relevant FY2027 THUD bill had received committee markup activity by early June 2026. This is legislative progress, but not evidence that Moulton individually advanced the $3 billion target or that Congress enacted it.

The House Appropriations Committee explains that annual appropriations bills proceed from committee drafting and markups to floor votes, reconciliation between House and Senate versions, final votes, and presidential signature.

Because the available FY2027 THUD evidence is at the filed bill/committee report stage, this process source supports treating the promise as unresolved rather than fulfilled as of 2026-07-02.
