In awarding the grants, DOT must consider (1) the amount of funding from and participation of railroads and other stakeholders, (2) whether the compact seeks to restore routes formerly operated by Amtrak, and (3) other factors.

The bill also repeals a prohibition on the use of funds made available for Amtrak to carry out interstate rail compacts.
