Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Program in FY2026

What the 20.337 × FY2026 join is

Program 20.337 and fiscal year 2026 meet here. $966,601,744.00 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. Because program totals match year totals, this join is the entire published CFDA 20.337 extract in the packet, still labeled as a FY2026 slice. A rail award under a different CFDA is out even if the corridor sounds related. This packet does not name railroads, states, or contractors. Unique recipients are unpublished.

CFDA 20.337 is numerically identical to this year cell in the current facts. FY2026 federal spending remains larger because it includes other programs. All programs and All spending ties keep sibling codes and other pairs in view. Do not add the year hub into $966,601,744.00.

Fifty-seven competitive rail vehicles

Dividing $966,601,744.00 by 57 yields about $16,957,925.33. Competitive infrastructure programs often post dozens of project awards rather than one formula vehicle per state. 57 is not 57 rail lines and not 57 unique builders. Do not invent railroad or contractor names.

Matching year and program counts is a packet identity, not a finding that CRISI never existed in other years. A later ingest can add rows. Correlation is not causation.

Not a grade-crossing inventory

$966,601,744.00 does not measure derailments, grade crossings, or miles of track renewed. Those series are unpublished here. The cell sums obligations with CFDA 20.337 and a FY2026 tag. Catalog title text is the heading, not a safety outcome. This page does not split the total by Class I versus short line.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $966,601,744.00 is the former. Rail construction vehicles often obligate in one year and build later. Citing the figure as cash already spent on rail over-reads the field. This packet has no outlay total.

Keep both keys even when the numbers match the program book. The year tag is still FY2026; the CFDA is still 20.337.

How to cite CRISI in FY2026

A usable footnote names Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Program (CFDA 20.337), fiscal year 2026, $966,601,744.00 in obligations, and 57 awards on USAspending.gov, and may note that those figures currently match the program extract. Keep the obligation word. The compact $967 million is that cell rounded.

Prefer CFDA 20.337 if the program table moved. FY2026 federal spending still includes every other CFDA tagged to that year. All programs and All spending ties keep sibling codes and other pairs in view. A later ingest can add other years without changing this join’s definition.

CRISI’s current single-year book

In this packet $966,601,744.00 and 57 awards describe both FY2026 and the entire published CFDA 20.337 extract. That identity is an ingest fact, not a finding that Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Program never existed in other years. Fifty-seven records with an implied mean near $16,957,925.33 fit a competitive project file: dozens of vehicles, not one formula row per state. 57 is not 57 railroads and not 57 builders. This packet does not name Class I carriers, short lines, or contractors. Derailments, grade crossings, and track-miles renewed are unpublished.

Keep both keys even when the numbers match the program hub. Cite CFDA 20.337 × FY2026, obligations not outlays. Rail construction often pays later. CFDA 20.337, FY2026 federal spending, All programs, and All spending ties are the four hrefs. The year hub includes unrelated CFDAs and is not an addend. Unique recipients stay unpublished. A later ingest can add yearlyTrend rows without changing the join: CRISI crossed with fiscal year 2026.

Rail folklore does not add grade-crossing inventories. $966,601,744.00 on 57 records currently matches the CFDA 20.337 program extract. Carrier and contractor names stay unpublished. CFDA 20.337, FY2026 federal spending, All programs, and All spending ties are hubs. Construction can pay after the obligation year. Keep both keys even when totals match.

Questions

How much did CRISI obligate in FY2026?

USAspending.gov records $966,601,744.00 across 57 awards for CFDA 20.337 in fiscal year 2026. In this packet those figures also equal the program-wide extract. That is an obligation join, not an outlay, and not a count of rail lines. Keep both the CFDA and the year when quoting the cell.

Does that mean CRISI only exists in FY2026?

It means the published extract in this packet shows $966,601,744.00 and 57 awards for both the year cell and the program totals. Other years are not in these facts. A later ingest can add rows. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Does 57 awards mean 57 railroads?

No. 57 is the award-record count. Combined with $966,601,744.00, the average is about $16,957,925.33. Unique recipients are unpublished. This packet does not name railroads or contractors. Keep both sides of the join when quoting the cell. USAspending.gov remains the source.

Where is the live table?

CFDA 20.337 is the program hub. FY2026 federal spending is the year hub. All programs lists other assistance codes. All spending ties lists other joins. Keep both sides when citing $966,601,744.00. Obligations are not outlays. Keep both sides of the join when quoting the cell. USAspending.gov remains the source.
