The Rail Vehicle Replacement Program provides funding to State and local governmental authorities. Passenger rail service provides critical and cost-effective transportation links throughout the United States and faces a critical backlog of state of good repair and safety investments. FTA seeks to fund projects to all populations in a project area that create proportional impacts, remove transportation related disparities, and increase equitable access to project benefits.
The focus of the grant program is to modernize America’s transit system, focusing on maintaining a State of Good Repair for fixed-guideway rail transit. Eligible projects are the replacement of rail rolling stock. For the purposes of this program, rail rolling stock is defined as revenue service, passenger carrying vehicles, or propulsion (locomotives) vehicles necessary for the provision of rail public transportation.

The Thriving Communities Program will offer deep-dive technical assistance to through cooperative agreements with eligible entities. Entities awarded a cooperative agreement will be “capacity builders” that will directly assist local governments that request technical assistance. Priority is given to assisting communities that are disadvantaged and/or transportation burdened or those that have limited technical capacity or budgets.
Eligible TCP capacity builders should propose strategies to provide deep-dive technical assistance, planning and capacity building and build a robust Community of Practice involving diverse transportation and community stakeholders. Specifically, this includes facilitating the scoping, planning, development and delivery of transportation and community revitalization activities that increase mobility, reduce pollution from transportation sources, expand affordable transportation options, facilitate efficient land use, preserve or expand jobs, improve housing conditions, enhance connections to health care, education, and food security, or improve health outcomes.
