580 lobbying filings named this agency, 2025 to 2026. Those filers reported $83,676,773 of lobbying spend in total, across all the work each filing covers.

An LD-2 reports one money figure for the whole filing, covering every part of government it named. The dollar amounts here are the spend of filings that named Federal Railroad Administration, not money spent lobbying it. Money counts the latest version of each filing only; filing counts include ones a later amendment restated.
