• $679 million for 49 U.S.C. § 5311 grants to rural areas. • $50 million for 49 U.S.C. § 5310 grants for seniors and persons with disabilities. “A primary objective of the $14 billion of emergency transit funding is to ensure that public transit agencies receive sufficient funding under this bill, when combined with their CARES Act apportionments, to equal at least 75% of urbanized areas’ public transit operating costs,” the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) explained on its website. “The transit funds provided under the bill are available for operating expenses related to the response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. The federal share is 100%.” Amtrak’s $1 billion in relief includes $655 million for Northeast Corridor Grants and $345 million for National Network Grants. The bill also sets aside $284.7 million to assist states and commuter rail providers in making required payments to Amtrak.
