Amtrak's ridership record reflects a growing preference for train travel among U.S. travelers, supported by significant investments and a focus on efficient options for the future.
Amtrak has put $4.5 billion into infrastructure upgrades, which includes new equipment and expanded services, aiming to achieve ambitious goals for ridership growth in the coming years.
CEO Stephen Gardner emphasized that breaking the ridership record is merely the beginning, as Amtrak is committed to connecting more communities and meeting demand for efficient travel options.
The increase in ridership and revenue marks a remarkable turnaround for Amtrak, attributed to a transformative $66 billion commitment received in 2021 for necessary upgrades and expansions.
