The Trump Administration’s 2026 budget proposes a 25 percent reduction in the Northeast Corridor’s funding, while slightly increasing the allocation for Amtrak’s long-distance network. The proposed budget would allocate $850 million to the Northeast Corridor, marking a 25 percent decrease from the $1.14 billion it received during Fiscal Year 2025.

The National Network, which includes state-supported trains and long-distance routes, is set to receive $1.58 billion, an increase from the $1.29 billion it received during Fiscal Year 2025, according to Bloomberg News reports.

In recent weeks, Amtrak has been tightening its budget in anticipation of what many believed would be significant cuts in funding from the government. —Justin Franz
