The Intercity Passenger Rail Trust Fund Act ensures the continuity of safe, sustainable, and convenient transportation by creating a stable funding source for Amtrak. Currently, Amtrak's budget is appropriated on a discretionary, annual bases. This leaves Amtrak unsure of what funding it may have in the future for ongoing projects and maintenance. The Intercity Passenger Rail Trust Fund Act will establish a fund to assist Amtrak with stable funding to make long-needed updates, which in turn will help passengers with disabilities by allowing Amtrak to address critical accessibility needs at stations and on trains.
