Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 18 GPD 075 00 01
The Fiscal Year 2018 Intercity Passenger Rail (IPR) - Amtrak grant opportunity is a discretionary federal funding program run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is designed specifically to support security-focused transportation infrastructure activities across the Amtrak system. The purpose is straightforward: help protect a major component of the nation s intercity passenger rail network and reduce vulnerabilities to threats, including the risk of terrorist attacks. In practical terms, the program sits within the broader set of security measures that Congress has authorized and that the Administration has implemented to strengthen critical infrastructure nationwide.
This opportunity was published as Funding Opportunity Title "Fiscal Year 2018 Intercity Passenger Rail (IPR) - Amtrak" under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 18 GPD 075 00 01. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means DHS/FEMA expects to have substantial involvement in how the award is carried out compared to a more hands-off grant. The funding activity category is listed as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the full notice), reflecting that the program is geared toward specialized security and infrastructure protection activities rather than a broad public service category.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. The listing shows eligible applicants as "Others" with additional eligibility information referenced in the full announcement, and the title makes clear the intended recipient is Amtrak. The program anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is effectively a targeted funding opportunity rather than a competitive, multi-recipient grant program. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 97.075, which corresponds to DHS preparedness and security assistance programs.
Key dates for the FY 2018 posting show a creation date of May 21, 2018, and an original closing date of June 20, 2018. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source data, which typically indicates the maximum award amount was not specified in that particular summary field or was handled through other documentation, rather than implying there would be no funding.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a FEMA/DHS vehicle for funding Amtrak rail security enhancements and related protective measures as part of the federal government s larger critical infrastructure protection strategy, with a single, system-wide recipient and an emphasis on reducing and managing terrorism-related and similar security risks in the intercity passenger rail environment.Apply for DHS 18 GPD 075 00 01
