The annual funding fight

Every year, Amtrak asks Congress for one lump sum, and every part of the network needs a piece of it. Here's Amtrak's own real FY2025 ask — $4.0 billion, split four ways. Allocate it yourself.

How this works: drag each slider to set that category's share. When the four add up to 100%, you can lock it in and see what Amtrak itself actually asked for — and what a shortfall in each category would mean in practice.
