Promoting passenger trains as a transportation alternative in Florida since 1983. We are citizens who advocate for Amtrak, commuter rail, intercity rail and transit for Florida's future.
Congress has passed Amtrak's appropriation for FY 2010.
A special Amtrak employee newsletter contains all of the details (click on highlighted text).
The news is somewhat disappointing, considering that it falls short of both Amtrak's budget request for FY 2010 and the amount authorized in PRIIA.
It is still the highest in Amtrak's history, however.
