This appropriation finances research and studies concerned with planning, analysis, and information development needed to
support the Secretary's responsibilities in the formulation of National transportation policies and the coordination of National
level transportation planning. Funding also supports Departmental leadership in areas such as regulatory modernization, energy
conservation, environmental and safety impacts of transportation, aviation economic policy, and international transportation
issues. The program activities include contracts with other Federal agencies, educational institutions, non-profit research
organizations, and private firms. This appropriation also finances the Interagency Infrastructure Permitting Improvement Center,
including an online database Permitting Dashboard, to support permitting/environmental review reforms to improve interagency
coordination, and make the process for Federal approval for major infrastructure projects more efficient.

The Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (P.L. 104–264) authorized the collection of user fees for services provided
by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to aircraft that neither take off nor land in the United States, commonly known
as overflight fees. The Act permanently appropriated the first $50 million of such fees for the Essential Air Service (EAS)
program and rural airport improvements. In addition, the FAA Modernization and Reauthorization Act (P.L. 112–95) requires
that, in any fiscal year, overflight fees collected in excess of $50 million will be available to carry out the EAS program.
The 2020 Budget proposes to reform the EAS program.

The Working Capital Fund finances common administrative, information technology, and other shared services that are centrally
performed in the interest of economy and efficiency. The fund is financed through agreements with the Department of Transportation
operating administrations and other customers. In 2020, the Working Capital Fund will likely obligate nearly $725 million
across the Department including $219 million to continue the Department's move towards implementing Shared Services. The Department's
shared services initiative will improve mission delivery in acquisition, human resources, and information technology by consolidating
separate, overlapping, and duplicative processes and functions. In 2020, the Department will continue consolidating its commodity
IT and begin to coordinate programmatic applications across operating administrations. Utilizing shared services will enable
the Department to improve cybersecurity, increase efficiencies, and improve transparency in IT spending.

Through 1997, the Essential Air Service (EAS) program was funded from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. Starting in 1998,
the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization funded it as a mandatory program supported by overflight fees under the
EAS and Rural Airport Improvement Fund. In addition to mandatory funding supported by overflight fees, direct appropriations
from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund to Payments to Air Carriers have been enacted every year beginning in 2002 to meet
the needs of the essential air service program. The 2020 Budget proposes to reform the EAS program to ensure Federal funds
are efficiently targeted at the communities most in need. The reforms include limits to eligibility (only those currently
receiving subsidized EAS) and limitations to the waivers for per-passenger subsidies for communities that are within 210 miles
of the nearest large/medium hub airport.

The 2020 Budget requests $10.340 billion for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operations. These funds will be used to
continue to promote aviation safety and efficiency. The Budget provides funding for the Air Traffic Organization (ATO) which
is responsible for managing the air traffic control system. As a performance-based organization, the ATO is designed to provide
cost-effective, efficient, and, above all, safe air traffic services. The Budget also funds the Aviation Safety Organization
which ensures the safe operation of the airlines and certifies new aviation products. In addition, the request also funds
regulation of the commercial space transportation industry, as well as FAA policy oversight and overall management functions.

The fund provides direct support for the aviation insurance program (chapter 443 of title 49, U.S. Code). In December 2014,
the Congress sunset part of the aviation insurance program. Specifically, the Congress returned U.S. air carriers to the commercial
aviation market for all of their war risk insurance coverage by ending the FAA's authority to provide war risk insurance for
a premium. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 44305, the FAA may provide insurance without premium at the request of the Secretary of Defense,
or the head of a department, agency, or instrumentality designated by the President, when the Secretary of Defense, or the
designated head, agrees to indemnify the Secretary of Transportation against all losses covered by the insurance. The "non-premium"
aviation insurance program is authorized through December 31, 2019.

This consolidated schedule shows obligations and outlays of amounts appropriated from the General Fund for miscellaneous programs.
The schedule reflects a Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program upward re-estimate, and interest
on the re-estimate of $251 million for 2018 and $135 million for 2019. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act
(MAP-21), enacted July 6, 2012, and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act included the TIFIA program upward
subsidy re-estimate with this account. No further discretionary appropriations are requested for 2020. A cancellation of $117
million of unobligated balances is proposed in 2020.

All of the funds have been provided to the States to capitalize the infrastructure banks. Because the funding was provided
as grants, and not loans, FHWA will not receive reimbursements of amounts expended for the SIBs program. No new budgetary
resources are requested in 2020.

The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1968 authorized the establishment of a right-of-way revolving fund. This fund was used to make
cash advances to States for the purpose of purchasing right-of-way parcels in advance of highway construction and thereby
preventing the inflation of land prices from significantly increasing construction costs. The purchase of right-of-way is
an eligible expense of the Federal-Aid Highway program.
This program was terminated by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century of 1998, but will continue to be shown for
reporting purposes as loan balances remain outstanding. No new budgetary resources are requested in 2020.

The Highway Revenue Act of 1956, as amended, provides for the transfer from the General Fund to the Highway Trust Fund of
revenue from the motor fuel tax, and certain other taxes paid by highway users. The Secretary of the Treasury estimates the
amounts to be transferred. In turn, appropriations are authorized from this fund to meet expenditures for Federal-aid highways
and other programs as specified by law. To reflect the Highway Trust Fund's structural insolvency, the Budget presents an
adjusted baseline that reflects the outlays that can be supported by available revenues, reducing outlays by $146 billion
over the 10-year window. Per the Cash Management Improvement Act of 1990, this account reflects the net of State interest
liability and adjusted Federal interest liability payments to or from States.
The following is the status of Highway Trust Fund.
Cash balances.—The Status of Funds table begins with the unexpended balance on a "cash basis'' at the start of the year. The table shows
the amount of cash invested in Federal securities at par value and the amount of cash on hand (i.e., uninvested balance).
Next, the table provides the amounts of cash income and cash outlays during each year to show the cash balance at the end
of each year.
Revenues.—The Budget presentation includes estimated receipts from existing Highway Trust Fund excise taxes, which would continue
to be deposited into the Highway and Mass Transit Accounts of the Highway Trust Fund in the same manner as current law.
General Fund Transfers.—The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Public Law 114–94) authorized the transfer into the Highway Trust
Fund of $70.0 billion from the General Fund of the Treasury in 2016. This transfer was not subject to sequestration. The FAST
Act authorized the transfer of $100 million into the Highway Trust Fund from the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust
Fund in both 2017 and 2018. The 2017 and 2018 LUST Trust Fund transfers were subject to sequestration.

The Federal-aid Highways (FAH) program is designed to aid in the development, operations, and management of an intermodal
transportation system that is economically efficient, environmentally sound, provides the foundation for the Nation to compete
in the global economy, and moves people and goods safely. All programs included within the FAH program are proposed to be
financed from the Highway Account of the Highway Trust Fund, and most are distributed via apportionments and allocations to
States. Liquidating cash appropriations are subsequently requested to fund outlays resulting from obligations incurred under
contract authority.
The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) 2020 budget consists of the following programs: Highway Safety Improvement Program;
National Highway Freight Program; National Highway Performance Program; Surface Transportation Block Grant Program; Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program; Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program; Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation
Programs; Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects; Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA)
Program; Research, Technology and Education Program; and Federal Allocation Programs.
Highway Safety Improvement Program.—The Highway Safety Improvement Program ($2.7 billion) provides funding to significantly reduce traffic fatalities and serious
injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned public roads and roads on Tribal lands. FHWA, through national leadership
and innovation, focuses on improving the safety of roadway infrastructure on all public roads. The program provides a data-
and performance-driven strategic approach to improving traffic safety to reduce fatalities and serious injuries. It strengthens
coordination among all highway safety modes, including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration, in conjunction with all Department safety initiatives. It continues the requirement that each
State utilize a Strategic Highway Safety Plan. This statewide, coordinated safety plan provides a comprehensive framework
for establishing statewide goals, objectives, and performance targets while ensuring the effective use of safety-focused funding.
The Highway Safety Improvement Program includes a $245 million targeted set-aside for the Railway-Highway Crossings Program
to reduce the number of fatalities, injuries, and crashes at public grade crossings.
National Highway Freight Program.—The National Highway Freight Program ($1.5 billion) is a formula program established by the FAST Act that provides States
with necessary funds for vital projects that will improve the movement of freight on the National Highway Freight Network,
which comprises the 41,500-mile Primary Highway Freight System (PHFS), all other Interstates not on the PHFS, and other State-identified
critical rural and urban corridors. The FAST Act requires all States using formula dollars to complete a multimodal State
Freight Plan.
National Highway Performance Program.—The National Highway Performance Program ($24.2 billion) is a formula-based program that focuses significant Federal resources
to support the condition and performance of the National Highway System (NHS), to support the construction of new facilities
on the NHS, and to ensure that investments of Federal-aid funds in highway construction support progress toward the achievement
of performance targets for the NHS. The program includes performance management features, holds States accountable for achieving
performance targets, and provides flexibility to States for making transportation investment decisions. The 220,000-mile NHS
comprises rural and urban roads serving major population centers, international border crossings, intermodal transportation
facilities, and major travel destinations. The NHS includes the Interstate System, all principal arterials, intermodal connectors,
and other roads important to mobility, commerce, national defense, and intermodal connectivity. The NHS provides mobility
to the vast majority of the Nation's population and almost all of its commerce, supports national defense, and promotes intermodal
connectivity.
Surface Transportation Block Grant Program.—The Surface Transportation Block Grant Program ($12.1 billion) provides flexible funding that may be used by States and
localities for projects to preserve and improve the condition and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge and safety
projects on any public road, and facilities for non-motorized transportation. The flexible nature of this program allows States
to direct funding to areas of greatest need while also fostering innovation. This program gives State transportation agencies
the ability to target funding to State and local priorities. States will identify projects for funding in consultation with
local transportation officials in rural areas and in cooperation with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in metropolitan
areas.
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program.—The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program ($2.5 billion) will help States, local governments,
and private-sector sponsors reduce highway congestion and harmful emissions, and assist many areas in reaching attainment
of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The CMAQ program provides a flexible funding source for State and local
governments to fund transportation projects and programs that are designed to help localities meet the requirements of the
Clean Air Act and its amendments, and help reduce regional congestion on transportation networks. CMAQ investments support
transportation projects that are designed to reduce the emissions from mobile sources in areas that have been designated as
in nonattainment or in maintenance of the NAAQS by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program.—The Metropolitan Transportation Planning Program ($359 million) provides funds for use by Metropolitan Planning Organizations
for multimodal transportation planning and programming in metropolitan areas. Metropolitan planning activities include: the
collection and analysis of data on demographics, trends, and system performance; travel demand and system performance forecasting;
identification and prioritization of transportation system improvement needs; and coordination of the planning process and
decision-making with the public, elected officials, and stakeholder groups. The planning process will provide consideration
for projects that increase safety, support economic vitality, increase accessibility, mobility, and connectivity, protect
and enhance the environment, emphasize the preservation of existing infrastructure, and increase security of the transportation
system.
Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs.—The Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Programs ($1.2 billion) provide funding for transportation construction and
engineering projects on Federal and tribal lands that will: provide multi-modal access to basic community services including
safer all-weather access to schools and healthcare facilities for 567 federally-recognized sovereign tribal governments; improve
multi-modal access to recreational areas on federal lands; and expand economic development in and around federal and tribal
lands while preserving the environment and reducing congestion.
Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects.—The Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects ($1.0 billion) program is a discretionary grant program, established
by the FAST Act, for major freight and highway projects that will improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement
of freight and people. Through the advancement of construction-ready projects, this program will enhance the Nation's freight
movement.
Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Program.—The TIFIA Program ($300 million) provides contract authority to cover the subsidy cost of providing credit assistance for
nationally or regionally significant transportation projects. The TIFIA Program leverages Federal dollars in a time of scarce
budgetary resources, facilitating private participation in transportation projects and encouraging innovative financing mechanisms
that help advance projects sooner. This program offers flexible repayment terms and attracts private capital to facilitate
transportation projects that would otherwise go unfunded.
Research, Technology, and Education Program.—The Research, Technology, and Education (RT&E) Program ($420 million) provides for a comprehensive, nationally-coordinated
research, technology, and education program that will advance the Department of Transportation's goals, while accelerating
innovation delivery and technology implementation. FHWA research, development and technology activities include: a highway
research and development program; a technology and innovation deployment program; an intelligent transportation systems program;
and a training and education program. The RT&E Program supports activities in the areas of safety, infrastructure, and innovation.
FHWA is in a unique leadership position to identify and address issues that require high-risk, long-term research, and research
on emerging issues of national significance. FHWA's leadership role is necessary to build effective partnerships to maximize
the investment in the transportation system. The entire innovation lifecycle is covered under the RT&E Program umbrella from
agenda setting to the deployment of technologies and innovations.
Federal Allocation Programs.—This categorization consists of funding ($404 million) for several important programs: Emergency Relief; Territorial and
Puerto Rico Highway Program; Construction of Ferry Boats and Ferry Terminal Facilities; On-the-Job Training; Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise; and Highway Use Tax Evasion Projects. The Emergency Relief Program has been funded through a recurring
annual authorization of $100 million since 1972. Emergency Relief funding assists Federal, State, tribal, and local governments
with the expense of repairing serious damage to Federal-aid, Tribal, and Federal Lands highways resulting from natural disasters
or catastrophic failures. The Territorial and Puerto Rico Highway Program provides funding for critical highway programs in
Puerto Rico and the four territories of American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the United
States Virgin Islands. The Construction of Ferry Boats and Ferry Terminal Facilities program provides funding for the construction
of ferry boats and ferry terminal facilities which will improve connectivity between NHS segments, reduce congestion, and
in many cases, provide the only reasonable form of transportation, particularly on coastal islands with year-round residents.
The On-the-Job Training program provides funding for developing, conducting, and administering surface transportation and
technology training, including skill improvement programs and job readiness. The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program
provides funding for developing, conducting, and administering training and assistance programs to increase the proficiency
of minority businesses to compete, on an equal basis, for contracts and subcontracts. The Highway Use Tax Evasion Projects
program provides funding to the Internal Revenue Service, other Federal agencies, and the States to carry out intergovernmental
enforcement efforts along with training and research to reduce evasion of payment of motor fuel and other highway use taxes,
which are the principal sources for Federal and State highway funding.

23, United States Code, the Secretary of Transportation provides notification in writing to the following committees: the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations; the Committee on Environment and Public Works and the Committee on Banking,
Housing and Urban Affairs of the Senate; and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives:
Provided, That such notification shall include, but not be limited to, the name of the project sponsor; a description of the project;
whether credit assistance will be provided as a direct loan, loan guarantee, or line of credit; and the amount of credit assistance.SEC. 124. (a) A State or territory, as defined in section 165 of title 23, United States Code, may use for any project eligible under section
133(b) of title 23 or section 165 of title 23 and located within the boundary of the State or territory any earmarked amount,
and any associated obligation limitation, provided that the Department of Transportation for the State or territory for which
the earmarked amount was originally designated or directed notifies the Secretary of Transportation of its intent to use its
authority under this section and submits a quarterly report to the Secretary identifying the projects to which the funding
would be applied. Notwithstanding the original period of availability of funds to be obligated under this section, such funds
and associated obligation limitation shall remain available for obligation for a period of 3 fiscal years after the fiscal
year in which the Secretary of Transportation is notified. The Federal share of the cost of a project carried out with funds
made available under this section shall be the same as associated with the earmark.
(b) In this section, the term "earmarked amount" means—
(1) congressionally directed spending, as defined in rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate, identified in a prior law,
report, or joint explanatory statement and administered by the Federal Highway Administration; or
(2) a congressional earmark, as defined in rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives identified in a prior law, report,
or joint explanatory statement and administered by the Federal Highway Administration.
(c) The authority under subsection (a) may be exercised only for those projects or activities that have obligated less than 10
percent of the amount made available for obligation as of October 1 of the current fiscal year, and shall be applied to projects
within the same general geographic area within 100 miles for which the funding was designated, except that a State or territory
may apply such authority to unexpended balances of funds from projects or activities the State or territory certifies have
been closed and for which payments have been made under a final voucher.
(d) The Secretary shall submit consolidated reports of the information provided by the States and territories annually to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
SEC. 125. Section 119(e)(5) of title 23, United States Code, is amended to read as follows—
"(5) Requirement for Plan.—Notwithstanding section 120, beginning on October 1, 2019, and each fiscal year thereafter, if
the Secretary determines that a State has not developed and implemented a State asset management plan consistent with this
section, the Federal share payable on account of any project or activity for which funds are obligated by the State in that
fiscal year under this section shall be 65 percent. The Secretary shall make the determination no later than the day before
the beginning of each fiscal year."
SEC. 126. Section 133(f) of title 23, United States Code, is amended to read as follows: "(f) Bridges Not on Federal-aid Highways.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, with respect to any project not on a
Federal-aid highway for the replacement of a bridge or rehabilitation of a bridge that is wholly funded from State and local
sources, is eligible for Federal funds under this section, is noncontroversial, is certified by the State to have been carried
out in accordance with all standards applicable to such projects under this section, and is determined by the Secretary upon
completion to be no longer a deficient bridge—
(1) any amount expended after the date of enactment of this subsection from State and local sources for the project in excess
of 20 percent of the cost of construction of the project may be credited to the non-Federal share of the cost of other bridge
projects in the State that are eligible for Federal funds under this section; and
(2) that crediting shall be conducted in accordance with procedures established by the Secretary.".

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) was established within the Department of Transportation by the Motor
Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (P.L. 106–159). Prior to this legislation, motor carrier safety responsibilities were
under the jurisdiction of the Federal Highway Administration.
FMCSA's mission is to promote safe commercial motor vehicle operation, and reduce truck and bus crashes. The Agency accomplishes
this mission by reducing fatalities and property losses associated with commercial motor vehicles through education, regulation,
enforcement, research, and innovative technology, thereby achieving a safer and more secure transportation environment. FMCSA
is also responsible for enforcing Federal motor carrier safety and hazardous materials regulations for all commercial vehicles
entering the United States along its southern and northern borders.

Motor Carrier Safety Grants provide funding to eligible States to conduct compliance reviews; identify and apprehend traffic
violators; conduct roadside inspections; and support safety audits on new entrant carriers. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA) also supports States by conducting training for State agency personnel to accomplish motor carrier
safety objectives. In addition, FMCSA reviews State commercial driver's license (CDL) oversight activities to prevent unqualified
drivers from being issued CDLs, and actively engages with industry and other stakeholders through Innovative Technology programs
to improve the safety and productivity of commercial vehicles and drivers.

The Operations and Programs account provides the necessary resources to support program and administrative activities for
motor carrier safety. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will continue to improve safety and reduce severe
and fatal commercial motor vehicles crashes by requiring operators to maintain standards to remain in the industry, and by
removing high-risk carriers, vehicles, drivers and service providers from operation. Funding supports Nation-wide motor carrier
safety and consumer enforcement efforts, including the continuation of the Compliance, Safety and Accountability Program;
regulation and enforcement of movers of household goods; and Federal safety enforcement activities at the borders to ensure
that foreign-domiciled carriers entering the U.S. are in compliance with FMSCA regulations. Resources are also provided to
fund regulatory development and implementation, investment in research and technology with a focus on research regarding highly
automated vehicles and related technology, and information technology's information management, safety outreach and education.
The 2020 Budget funds critical safety and operational facility improvements at border and domestic posts, and important safety
and safety mission support training for FMCSA staff and to State partners.

The Vehicle Safety programs support activities to reduce highway fatalities, prevent injuries, and reduce their associated
economic toll by research into, and implementation of, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. NHTSA supports ongoing research
into complex safety-critical electronic control systems; vehicle cybersecurity; and new and emerging technologies. Additional
research areas include safety systems; biomechanics; heavy vehicles safety technologies; and vehicle safety issues related
to fuel efficiency and alternative fuels. The Operation and Research programs fund a broad range of initiatives, including
promulgation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for motor vehicles and safety related equipment; automotive fuel economy
standards required by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007;
international harmonization of vehicle standards; and consumer information on motor vehicle safety. NHTSA conducts compliance
programs for motor vehicle safety and automotive fuel economy standards; investigations of safety-related motor vehicle defects;
enforcement of Federal odometer law; support of enforcement of State odometer law; and safety recalls when warranted. Motor
vehicle safety research and development supports NHTSA programs through the collection and analysis of crash data to identify
safety problems, development of alternative solutions, and assessments of costs, benefits, and effectiveness. Research continues
on standards and technologies to improve vehicle crashworthiness and crash avoidance, with emphasis on reducing crashes through
active safety and advanced testing of emerging technologies.

The Highway Safety Research and Development programs support research, demonstrations, technical assistance, and national
leadership activities for behavioral safety programs conducted by State and local governments, as well as various safety associations
and organizations. These programs emphasize impaired and drug-impaired driving, alcohol and drug countermeasures, driver and
passenger occupant protection, driver distraction, traffic enforcement and justice services, emergency medical and trauma
care systems, traffic records and licensing, State and community evaluation, motorcycle rider safety, pedestrian and bicycle
safety, pupil transportation, young and older driver safety, and development of improved accident investigation procedures.
NHTSA will continue to operate the National Driver Register's Problem Driver Pointer System, which helps to identify drivers
who have been suspended for or convicted of serious traffic offenses, such as driving under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs. Finally, NHTSA will improve its vital data collection and analysis, which form the basis of its research, rulemaking,
and performance measurement activities.

NHTSA provides grants to States for activities related to the promotion of highway traffic safety. The Fixing America's Surface
Transportation (FAST) Act provided multi-year surface transportation authorization legislation. Under Section 402, the Agency
supports State highway safety programs, approved by the Secretary, which are designed to reduce traffic accidents and the
resulting deaths, injuries, and property damage. The Agency will continue to implement and promote the use of performance
measures and targets as a condition of approval in these programs and to ensure efficient and effective use of funds. NHTSA
also will use dedicated funds from the program to support high visibility enforcement campaigns in the States that promote
the use of seat belts and the reduction of drunk driving. Under Section 405, the Agency will make grant awards to States that
focus on specific national priority traffic safety areas aimed at reducing highway deaths and injuries. The Agency will make
grants to States that develop qualifying plans and complying laws in accordance with the statutory criteria. The focus areas
under the Section 405 grant programs include occupant protection, State traffic safety information system improvements, impaired
driving countermeasures, distracted driving, motorcyclist safety, State graduated driving licensing, and non-motorized safety
programs.

In 2016, $50 million was appropriated under the Railroad Safety Grants heading to be equally distributed to Railroad Safety
Infrastructure Improvement Grants and Railroad Safety Technology Grants. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST)
Act of 2015 (P.L. 114–94) repealed the Railroad Safety Infrastructure Improvement Grants program and did not authorize new
funding for the Railroad Safety Technology Grants program. No new funds are requested for this account for 2020.

Funding requested in the Railroad Research and Development Program is focused on improving railroad safety. It provides scientific
and engineering support for the Federal Railroad Administration's rail safety enforcement and rulemaking efforts. It also
identifies and develops emerging technologies for the rail industry to adopt voluntarily. The outcomes of the research and
development reduce accidents and incidents. In addition to improving safety, the program contributes significantly towards
activities to achieve and maintain a state of good repair and promote job creation and economic growth.
The program focuses on the following areas of research:
Track Program.—Reducing derailments due to track related causes.
Rolling Stock Program.—Reducing derailments due to equipment failures, to minimize the consequences of derailments, and to minimize hazardous material
releases.
Train Control and Communication.—Reducing train to train collisions and train collisions with objects on the line and at grade crossings.
Human Factors Program.—Reducing accidents caused by human error.
Railroad System Issues Program.—Prioritizing Research and Development projects on the basis of relevance to safety risk reduction and other DOT goals.

Restoration and Enhancement Grants provide operating assistance to initiate, restore, or enhance intercity passenger rail
transportation. The program limits assistance to three years per route and no more than six grants may be simultaneously active.
Eligible recipients include States; local governments; Amtrak or other rail carriers that provide intercity passenger rail
service; and any rail carrier in partnership with another eligible public-sector applicant. The Budget includes $550 million
for operating subsidy as the Department, Amtrak, states and stakeholders begin the process to restructure long distance routes
of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation. For 2020 funds provided for purposes of the long distance restructuring proposal,
the Budget proposes to remove the authorized limit on the number of simultaneously active grants, extend the authorized maximum
grant duration from 3 to 4 years, and permit 100 percent of net operating costs to be funded in the first year of service.

Funds are used to redevelop the Pennsylvania Station in New York City, which involves renovating the James A. Farley Post
Office building as Moynihan Station. Funding for this project was included in the Grants to the National Railroad Passenger
Corporation appropriation in 1995 through 1997, and the Northeast Corridor Improvement Program in 1998. In 2000, FRA received
an advance appropriation of $20 million for 2001, 2002, and 2003. In 2001, the Congress specified that the $20 million advance
appropriation for the Farley Building be used exclusively for fire and life safety initiatives. In 2016, $40 million was transferred
from the Federal Transit Administration's Hurricane Sandy funding into this account for risk reduction projects at Moynihan
Station. No new funds are requested for this account in 2020.

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) was established in 1970 through the Rail Passenger Service Act. Amtrak
is operated and managed as a for-profit corporation. Amtrak is not an agency or instrument of the U.S. Government, although,
since the railroad's creation FRA has provided annual grants for operating, capital, and debt service costs.
Prior to 2006, FRA received annual appropriations in this account for grants to Amtrak. Since then, several one-time appropriations
or funding transfers have been directed to this account, including $1.3 billion in funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009; $112 million from the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013 (P.L. 113–2) for recovery efforts from super
storm Sandy; $185 million transfer from the Federal Transit Administration for the Hudson Yards disaster resiliency project
in New York City; and a $13 million transfer from the Federal Transit Administration for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority/Long
Island Rail Road's River to River Rail Resiliency project in New York City. No new funds are requested for this account in
2020.

From 2006 to 2016, the Federal Railroad Administration received appropriations to this account to make grants to the National
Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) for capital investments and debt service assistance. The FAST Act authorized two new
appropriations accounts for Amtrak—Northeast Corridor grants and National Network grants—which first received funding in 2017.
The Administration proposes to continue funding Amtrak under the FAST Act account structure. No new funds are requested for
this account in 2020.

The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act authorized two new appropriations accounts for the National Railroad Passenger
Corporation (Amtrak)—Northeast Corridor Grants and National Network Grants. Funding requested in the National Network Grants
to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation account provide capital, operating, and debt service funding for Amtrak activities
related to the National Network, which includes Amtrak's State-Supported services, Long Distance services, and other Amtrak
costs not allocated to the Northeast Corridor. Amtrak began receiving its annual appropriations from the Congress under this
account structure in 2017. The 2020 Budget proposes funding operating costs for Long Distance routes through the Restoration
and Enhancement Grants program as part of a proposal to restructure the Long Distance Network. The 2020 Budget includes $611
million for this account.

This competitive grant program encourages State participation in passenger rail service. Under this program, a State or States
may apply for grants for up to 50 percent of the cost of capital investments necessary to support improved intercity passenger
rail service that either requires no operating subsidy or for which the State or States agree to provide any needed operating
subsidy. To qualify for funding, States must include intercity passenger rail service as an integral part of statewide transportation
planning as required under 23 U.S.C. 135. Additionally, the specific project must be on the Statewide Transportation Improvement
Plan at the time of application.
No new funds are requested for this account for 2020.

The Railroad Safety Technology Program is a competitive grant program for the deployment of train control technologies to
passenger and freight rail carriers, railroad suppliers, and State and local governments. Projects may include the deployment
of train control technologies, train control component technologies, processor-based technologies, electronically controlled
pneumatic brakes, rail integrity inspection systems, rail integrity warning systems, switch position indicators and monitors,
remote control power switch technologies, track integrity circuit technologies, and other new technologies that improve the
safety of railroad systems.
FRA has given priority to projects that make technologies interoperable between railroad systems; accelerate the deployment
of train control technology on high risk corridors, such as those that have high volumes of hazardous materials shipments,
or over which commuter or passenger trains operate; or benefit both passenger and freight safety and efficiency.
No new funds are requested for this account for 2020. The FAST Act did not authorize new funding for the Railroad Safety Technology
Grants program.

The Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century of 1998 established the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing
(RRIF) loan and loan guarantee program. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005: A Legacy
for Users, changed the program to allow FRA to issue direct loan and loan guarantees up to $35 billion, and it required that
no less than $7 billion be reserved for projects primarily benefiting freight railroads other than Class I carriers. The program
was expanded by the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and again by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act in 2015.
The funding may be used: 1) to acquire, improve, or rehabilitate intermodal or rail equipment or facilities, including track,
components of track, bridges, yards, buildings, or shops; 2) to refinance debt; 3) to develop and establish new intermodal
or railroad facilities; 4) to reimburse related planning and design expenses; 5) and to finance (by December 2019) certain
economic development related to passenger rail stations. In 2016, $1.96 million was made available to assist Class II and
Class III railroads in covering RRIF loan application expenses. In 2018, $25 million was made available for the subsidy costs
of new loans, or the cost of loan modifications, with an additional $17 million being appropriated in 2019 for a similar purpose.
No new funds are requested for this account in 2020.

Federal Transit Administration
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) provides grant funding to State and local governments, public and private transit
operators, and other recipients to enhance public transportation across the United States. FTA programs fund the construction
of new public transit systems, purchase and maintain transit vehicles and equipment, subsidize limited public transit operations,
support regional transportation planning efforts, and improve technology and service methods critical to the delivery of public
transportation. In 2015, a new five year surface transportation authorization law was enacted—Fixing America's Surface Transportation
Act or the FAST Act. The FAST Act provides steady and predictable funding for five years and a renewed focus on reinvesting
in and modernizing transit assets to help bring transit systems throughout the country into a state of good repair.
The Administration proposes $12.4 billion for FTA in 2020. This proposal includes $10.2 billion to support FTA's base formula
programs that provide assistance to transit agencies in both urban and rural areas, with an additional investment in programs
improving the state of good repair of rail transit and recapitalizing bus and bus facilities through a new discretionary grant
program. The Administration proposes $1.5 billion in new budget authority for Capital Investment Grants to support new fixed
guideway investments as well as projects aimed at improving or restoring the core capacity of existing fixed guideway systems.
The table below presents actual funding for 2018, the annualized CR for 2019, and the request for 2020. Additional detail
is provided in the program budget schedules that follow.

The Federal Rail Safety Improvements Act, 2008, (P.L. 110–432, Title VI, Sec. 601), provided authorization for capital and
preventive maintenance projects for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Funding will help WMATA address
its reinvestment and maintenance backlog to improve the safety and reliability of service and to expand existing system capacity
to meet growing demand. The Secretary of Transportation shall approve grants for capital and preventive maintenance expenditures
for WMATA only after receiving and reviewing a request for each specific project. The Secretary shall determine that WMATA
has placed the highest priority on those investments that will improve the safety of the system before approving such grants.
The Secretary, in order to ensure safety throughout the rail system, may waive the requirements of section 601(e) (1) of title
VI of Public Law 110–432 (112 Stat. 4968).

Initiated within the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, this program provided grants to public transit agencies
for capital investments to reduce the energy consumption or greenhouse gas emissions of their public transportation operations.
Activities have not been funded in this account since 2011. This schedule shows the obligations and outlays of funding made
available for this program in fiscal years prior to 2012. In 2020, projects to increase energy efficiency and decrease greenhouse
gas emissions can be funded with Urbanized Area Formula grants and Rural Area Formula grants.

The 2020 Budget request includes $1.505 billion for the Capital Investment Grants account to increase the capacity of transit
networks in communities across the nation. The program supports the construction of new fixed guideway systems or extensions
to fixed guideways including, corridor-based bus rapid transit systems, and core capacity improvement projects. These projects
include heavy rail, light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit, and streetcar systems. The law outlines a multi-year, multi-step
competitive process that projects must complete to be eligible for CIG funding. At various points during these steps, and
prior to any grant award, FTA must evaluate and rate each project. To obtain funding, projects must obtain a medium or better
rating under the statutorily defined criteria that examine project merit and local financial commitment.

The Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program helps transit agencies restore needed transportation services immediately
following disaster events. Both capital and operating costs are eligible for funding following an emergency; however, this
program does not replace the Federal Emergency Management Agency's capital assistance program. FTA administers the $10.9 billion
supplemental appropriation (adjusted to $10.2 billion after sequestration and the transfer of funds to the Office of the Inspector
General and the Federal Railroad Administration) provided by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public Law 113–2)
following Hurricane Sandy through this account. The Bipartisan Budget Account of 2018 (Public Law 115–123) also provided $330
million for eligible capital and operating costs for areas affected by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018 created the Transit Infrastructure Grants program to provide additional funding
for FTA's core capital assistance programs. Funds are allocated through existing State of Good Repair and Buses and Bus Facilities
formula and competitive grants.
Transit Infrastructure Grants reinvest in existing transit assets including rail fixed guideway systems. These funds also
help replace, rehabilitate, and purchase new buses, and construct bus-related facilities.
The 2020 Budget includes $250 million for Buses and Bus Facilities grants and $250 million for State of Good Repair grants.

Transit Formula Grants funds are primarily used for transit capital purposes including bus and rail car purchases, facility
repair, construction and maintenance. In certain instances Transit Formula Grant funds are eligible to be used for planning
expenses as well. Some funds are also used for research, development, and demonstration to improve transit safety and innovation.
The 2020 Budget request includes $10.2 billion for Transit Formula Grants, as authorized in the FAST Act. The 2020 formula
grant program structure includes:
Urbanized Area Formula.—$4.929 billion. For formula grants to urbanized areas with populations of 50,000 or more. Funds may be used for any transit
capital purpose. Operating costs continue to be eligible expenses for all urban areas under 200,000 in population; and, in
certain circumstances, operating costs may be eligible expenses in urban areas with populations over 200,000. Additionally,
Urbanized Area grants may be used to support Job Access and Reverse Commute activities.
State of Good Repair Grants.—$2.684 billion. For a formula-based capital maintenance program to restore and replace aging transportation infrastructure
through reinvestment in existing fixed guideway systems and buses on high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes.
Rural Area Formula.—$673 million. For formula grants to provide funds for capital, planning and operating assistance grants for transit service
implemented by States in rural areas with populations of less than 50,000. Funding may also be used to support intercity bus
service. Additionally, Rural Area grants may be used to support Job Access and Reverse Commute activities. Within this amount,
$30 million in formula funds and $5 million in discretionary grant funds will support the Public Transportation on Indian
Reservations program and $20 million will support the Appalachian Development Public Transportation Assistance Formula Program.
Growing States and High Density States.—$570 million. For funds that are divided between the Urban and Rural Area programs based on the legislative funding formula
for this program.
Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities.—$286 million. Supports local governments and public and private transportation providers that serve special needs of these
specific transit-dependent populations beyond traditional public transportation services, including complementary paratransit
service.
Bus and Bus Facilities Grants.—$809 million. For formula funding and discretionary funding to replace, rehabilitate, and purchase buses and related equipment,
and to construct bus-related facilities States may use these funds to supplement Urbanized Area and Rural Area formula grant
programs. Funding also supports low and zero emission bus and bus facilities.
Bus Testing Facility.—$3 million. Funding supports a facility where all new bus models purchased using FTA capital assistance will be tested for
compliance with performance standards for safety, structural integrity, reliability, performance (including braking performance)
maintainability, emissions, noise and fuel economy. FTA must develop a Pass/Fail rating system for buses. FTA grantees will
not be able use Federal funds to purchase buses that do not receive a "pass" rating.
Planning Programs.—$142 million. Funding supports cooperative, continuous, and comprehensive transportation infrastructure investment planning.
The program requires that all Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and States, develop performance-driven, outcome-based
transportation plans.
Transit Oriented Development Pilot.—$10 million. This pilot program funds planning for projects that support transit-oriented development associated with new
fixed-guideway and core capacity improvement projects.
National Transit Data Base (NTD).—$4 million. For operation and maintenance of the NTD, a database of nationwide statistics on the transit industry, which
FTA is legally required to maintain under 49 U.S.C. 5335(a)(1)(2). NTD data serves as the basis for FTA formula grant apportionments
and is used to track the condition and performance of our Nation's transit infrastructure.
Public Transportation Innovation.—$28 million. This program provides assistance for projects and activities to advance innovative public transportation research,
demonstration, deployment and development and testing, evaluating and analyzing low or no emission vehicle components intended
for use in low or no emission vehicles.
Technical Assistance and Workforce Development.—$9 million. This program enables FTA to provide technical assistance to the public transportation industry and to develop
standards for transit service, with an emphasis on improving access for all individuals. Through this program, FTA is able
to assist grantees to more effectively and efficiently provide public transportation and administer federal funding in compliance
with the law. Funds are also used to address public transportation workforce needs through the National Transit Institute.
Pilot Program for Enhanced Mobility.—$3.5 million. This pilot program assists in financing innovative projects for the transportation disadvantaged that improve
the coordination of transportation services and non-emergency medical transportation services.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires the preparation of spill response plans by operators that store, handle, or transport
oil to minimize the environmental impact of oil spills and to improve public and private sector response. PHMSA reviews response
plans submitted by operators of onshore oil pipelines to ensure the plans comply with PHMSA regulations. These plans also
must be regularly updated by the operator and submitted for review by PHMSA. PHMSA also seeks to improve oil spill preparedness
and response through data analysis, spill monitoring, mapping pipelines in areas unusually sensitive to environmental damage,
and advanced technologies to detect and prevent leaks from hazardous liquid pipelines. These and related activities are funded
in part by the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund.

The Maritime Security Program provides direct payments to U.S. flag ship operators engaged in foreign commerce to partially
offset the higher operating costs of U.S. registry. The purpose of the program is to establish and sustain a fleet of active
ships that are privately owned, commercially viable, and militarily useful to meet national defense and other emergency sealift
requirements. Participating operators are required to make their ships and commercial transportation resources available upon
request by the Secretary of Defense during times of war or national emergency. Commercial transportation resources include
ships, logistics management services, port terminal facilities, and U.S. citizen merchant mariners to crew both commercial
and Government-owned merchant ships. The Maritime Administration requests $300 million for the Maritime Security Program.

The Maritime Guaranteed Loan (Title XI) program provides for a full faith and credit guarantee of debt obligations issued
by U.S or foreign ship owners to finance or refinance the construction, reconstruction, or reconditioning of U.S.-flag vessels
or eligible export vessels in U.S. shipyards; or for a full faith and credit guarantee of debt obligations issued by U.S.
shipyard owners to finance the modernization of shipbuilding technology at shipyards located in the United States.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account also includes the subsidy costs associated with loan guarantee
commitments made in 1992 and subsequent years which are estimated on a present value basis.
In 2020, the Maritime Guaranteed Loan (Title XI) program is proposed for elimination and the management of the existing loan
guarantee portfolio and program would be administered by the Office of the Secretary's National Surface Transportation and
Innovative Finance Bureau.
