(a)of this section must maintain a total minimum liability coverage of at least $200,000,000.

(c)Effectiveness.— This section is effective only after Amtrak or a rail carrier seeking an indemnification contract under this section makes an operating agreement with a publicly financed commuter transportation authority established under Virginia law to provide access to its property for revenue transportation related to the operations of the authority.
