Yep, I fully expected, and previously "predicted" on AP, based either on my psychic powers, or my most minimal math ability to count votes in the Senate, that it would include funding for daily long haul Amtrak service restoration. This was supported by the Senators in places like Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico, as well as by the one from Montana, that have seen cutbacks on the other routes.
I am more interested in what else is contained in the bill regarding two subjects 1) Covid relief aid and restart dollars (tax credits/write-offs?grants/loans) for impacted tourist businesses ( both profit and non profit..), and 2) other trransportation restart, and/or stimulus operating or capital funding.
Is there a good on-line breakdown on the rest of what is funded for 1) Amtrak, 2)State and Local Transportation/Rail/Transit, 3) a list of transportation capital projects???
Maybe, one of our really good sources might have come across that?
