Opportunity Information: Apply for FR FSP 22 001
The FY21 Federal-State Partnership for State of Good Repair is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). It is designed to help fund major capital investments that address the condition of the nation’s passenger rail infrastructure. In practical terms, the program focuses on projects that repair, replace, or rehabilitate qualifying railroad assets so that aging or worn infrastructure can be brought back to a reliable, safe, and maintainable condition. A central goal is to reduce the long-standing "state of good repair" backlog, which refers to deferred maintenance and overdue reinvestment needs that can accumulate over time and eventually affect service quality and reliability.
The opportunity is specifically oriented toward improving intercity passenger rail performance. That emphasis means proposed projects are expected to contribute to better day-to-day operations for passenger rail services, such as fewer delays, fewer infrastructure-related disruptions, and more dependable travel times. While the program summary is concise, the typical types of eligible investments under a state-of-good-repair framework include rehabilitation or replacement of track and related track structure, bridges, tunnels, stations, signal and train control systems, communications systems, traction power and electrical systems, and other critical fixed assets that directly support passenger rail operations. The key theme is capital improvement of existing, qualified assets rather than routine maintenance or purely operational spending.
This grant is identified as Funding Opportunity Title "FY21 Federal-State Partnership for State of Good Repair" with Funding Opportunity Number FR FSP 22 001. It falls under the Transportation funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 20.326. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the program is discretionary, meaning awards are made competitively and are not automatically distributed by formula. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $198,000,000, and the Federal Railroad Administration anticipated making about 20 awards, indicating that multiple projects could be funded but selection would be competitive.
Eligibility is broadly aimed at state governments, with additional eligible entities referenced in the notice as "Others" and clarified in the full eligibility section of the opportunity announcement. The posting indicates the opportunity was created on December 7, 2021, with an original application closing date of March 7, 2022. Overall, the program’s core purpose is to direct federal investment toward high-impact rail asset renewal projects that measurably reduce deferred repair needs and improve the performance and reliability of intercity passenger rail service.Apply for FR FSP 22 001
