5309 (h) of Title 49 is labeled Small Start Projects

5309 (q) of Title 49 is labeled Joint Public Transportation and Intercity Passenger Rail Projects. This section obviously is of great importance to us and contains the following subsections,

For projects new fixed guideway capital projects and core capacity improvement projects that provide both public transportation and intercity passenger rail service.
Eligible costs limited to the net capital costs of the public transportation costs attributable to the project based on projected use of the new segment or expanded capacity of the project corridor not including project elements designed to achieve or maintain a state of good repair as determined by the Secretary.
Project must be justified and have a local financial commitment
Secretary shall calculate net capital project costs on estimates of engineering studies, studies of economic feasibility, expected use of equipment or facilities and the Public transportation costs attributable to the pubic transportation costs
The Government shall not exceed 80 % of the net capital costs attributable to the public transportation costs. The non-government shall be provided from undistributed cash surplus, a replacement or depreciation cash fund or reserve or new capital.

Section 5309 (q) was added in 2015.

Basically this is a constructive bill that would give the Northeast Corridor substantial funds to advance projects particularly the North Portal Bridge within the Gateway Project. TOTAL direct Amtrak Funding would have the National System reduced from $1,167,000,000 to $1,100,000 and the NEC remaining unchanged. However the provisions in the State of Good Repair rising from $25,000,000 to $500,000,000 more than makes up for the decrease in direct funds. Also the $400,000,000 in New Start Money would also help significantly in getting the Gateway Project going.

Keep in mind that in FY2017 the Senate adjusted the figures to favor the National System more and to provide money for new trains. There is no reason why the Senate will not try to do this again as more money is needed for a restart of Gulf Coast Service.

Assuming that the Anti-Amtrak Lobby does not decimate this bill, these figures are amounts we can live with even if they do not completely fund the 2018 provisions of the Fast Act.
