The House proposed THUD appropriations for FY25 is out.
Includes a 12% cut to both the NEC and National Network accounts. Also zeroes out the FedState partnership grant program. Absolutely all rail programs include a cut except for, unsurprisingly, CRISI, which funds primarily short line freight rail programs.
On the transit/commuter rail side there’s a huge over $1 billion cut to the FTA. Not surprisingly again these are coupled with increases to both the Highway Funds and the FAA.
