HR 2577 (Roll Call 315) Amtrak Subsidies

The Sessions amendment to the Transportation-HUD Appropriations bill prohibits the use of funds to subsidize any Amtrak route that has a cost exceeding two times its revenue. ACU supports this fiscally responsible approach to taxpayer subsidies and supported this amendment. The House defeated the amendment on June 9, 2015 by a vote of 186-237
