The funny number game starts. The majority of grant request is for National Network. The first thing Gardner states is, this grant will allow us to continue running our long distance trains. In my opinion this is his end game, make the long distance trains look as bad as possible. He’s disingenuous and can’t be trusted from past experience.
“Our requested FY2023 annual grant will allow Amtrak to continue operating our long-distance trains, which connect communities across the nation; to continue partnering with states to provide short-distance corridor service; and to continue normalized replacement (necessary maintenance and sustainment) of aged assets on the Northeast Corridor, all while facing new levels of uncertainty and disruption from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic," Gardner said.
“Of the total grant request, $1.1 billion would be allocated to the Northeast Corridor and $2.2 billion to the National Network in FY2023”
