Some Aristotle logic:
Pennsylvania Station is located on the Northeast Corridor. Every Amtrak train to New York City goes to Pennsylvania Station. Therefore, every Amtrak train going to New York City uses the Northeast Corridor, at least partially.
As an American citizen living in Texas, I don't care about MTA or NJT, I care about Amtrak. Even so, many MTA trains and NJT trains use the Northeast Corridor as well. Therefore, improvements to the Northeast Corridor helps them too.
Additionally, look at this threads title:
" High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program "
I'm still trying to figure out how the MTA or NJT fall under it!

There are current and future MTA and NJT lines that will act like intercity rail. The Port Jervis , Hudson , Montauk and New Haven lines act like Intercity Service....they also take 2+hrs to travel.
