Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 20 GPD 075 00 02
The Fiscal Year 2020 Intercity Passenger Rail (IPR) - Amtrak grant is a discretionary DHS/FEMA funding opportunity designed specifically to strengthen the security and resilience of the nation`s intercity passenger rail system. It sits within a larger set of FEMA transportation infrastructure security grant programs established to reduce vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure and to better protect the public against threats such as terrorism, as well as major disasters and other emergencies. In practical terms, the program is intended to help Amtrak prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from high-consequence incidents that could disrupt rail operations or endanger passengers, employees, and key assets across the rail network.
This opportunity is issued by the Department of Homeland Security through FEMA under CFDA 97.075, and it uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means FEMA may have ongoing involvement in how the funded work is carried out compared with a standard grant. The program aligns with DHS mission priorities described in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, particularly the mission area focused on strengthening national preparedness and resilience. It also supports FEMA`s 2018-2022 Strategic Plan goal of readying the nation for catastrophic disasters, emphasizing improved capabilities, coordination, and professionalism across emergency management and critical infrastructure partners.
Eligibility is narrowly targeted: the recipient is effectively Amtrak, reflected in the listing of "Others" for eligible applicants and the program title specifying Amtrak. The funding structure indicates a single expected award, reinforcing that this is not a broad, competitive program for multiple rail operators or local entities, but rather a focused investment intended to support security enhancements and preparedness activities within Amtrak`s intercity passenger rail environment.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number DHS 20 GPD 075 00 02, an original posting/creation date of February 14, 2020, and an original application deadline of April 15, 2020. The award ceiling is $10,000,000, with one award anticipated. Overall, the program functions as a targeted federal investment to harden rail infrastructure, improve readiness for complex incidents, and enhance Amtrak`s ability to protect passengers and maintain continuity of operations during emergencies.Apply for DHS 20 GPD 075 00 02
