we recommend that you fund the program at least $1 billion in FY27, consistent with the level authorized in the IIJA for FY26.

Occurrences
Evidence
The law authorized CRISI grants at $1,000,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2022 through 2026, and separately provided $5,000,000,000 with $1,000,000,000 made available for each fiscal year 2022 through 2026.
Roll Call 369 on H.R. 3684 passed 228-206. Seth Moulton is listed as voting Yea.
FRA lists FY 2023-2024 CRISI funding available for award as $2,478,391,050, sourced from FY2023 and FY2024 appropriations and IIJA advance appropriations.
Congress.gov lists Rep. Seth Moulton as sponsor of H.R.7600, with latest action referral to subcommittee and status Introduced. The bill would authorize high-speed rail funding for FY2024-FY2028.
Assessments
The promise targets FY2027 CRISI funding, and the evidence does not show an enacted FY2027 appropriation of at least $1 billion. Existing law funded CRISI at roughly $1 billion annually only through FY2026, while Moulton’s cited actions show support for rail funding but do not deliver the specific FY2027 CRISI outcome. Because FY2027 funding is not yet resolved in the provided record, this should remain unresolved rather than marked delivered or failed.
