Evidence

Section 22105 authorized $50,000,000 for Restoration and Enhancement grants for each of fiscal years 2022 through 2026.

The enacted infrastructure law funded/authorized the program through FY2026, but not FY2027, so it does not fulfill the specific FY2027 promise.

FRA lists FY 2021-2024 funding available for award as $153,845,680 and cites authority under 49 U.S.C. 22908.

The FRA program page confirms the program exists and identifies recent funding rounds, but it does not show an FY2027 appropriation of at least $50 million.

The FY2027 mark covers the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027 and includes FRA Safety, R&D, CRISI, Crossing, and Amtrak headings.

The current House FY2027 THUD bill text available before final enactment does not include a Restoration and Enhancement Grant Program account or a $50 million appropriation for it.

The report describes FRA language for Safety and Operations, Railroad Research and Development, CRISI, Railroad Crossing Elimination, and Amtrak grants.

The committee report’s FRA account descriptions omit Restoration and Enhancement Grants, reinforcing that the House committee bill had not provided the promised FY2027 $50 million.

The House Appropriations Committee approved the FY2027 THUD measure by a 34 to 27 vote.

As of the latest official committee action found before July 2, 2026, FY2027 THUD had advanced in committee but was not shown as enacted; the promise therefore remains unresolved rather than delivered.

Roll Call 369 passed H.R. 3684, and Rep. Moulton is recorded as voting Yea.

Moulton supported the infrastructure law that authorized Restoration and Enhancement grants through FY2026, but this action predates and does not specifically provide the promised FY2027 funding.

unresolved same_term

The promise concerns an FY2027 federal appropriation, and as of July 2, 2026 the FY2027 THUD appropriations process had advanced only through House committee action, not final enactment. The available House committee bill and report do not show a Restoration and Enhancement Grant Program account or a $50 million FY2027 appropriation. Moulton previously supported the infrastructure law authorizing the program through FY2026, but that does not satisfy the specific FY2027 funding promise. Because FY2027 appropriations remain pending, the outcome is not yet delivered or failed.
