Download or read book Amtrak written by Samuel P. Goodwin and published by Nova Biomedical Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its creation in 1970, Amtrak has sought to relieve railroad companies of costly passenger operations while continuing US rail service. However, Amtrak has come under fire for its own inability to turn a profit, though passenger rail service is historically unprofitable. Congress has mandated that Amtrak show an ability to cover its own expenses, which the company has said it will do. As train travel becomes more important to the nation in the wake of the 11 September terrorist attacks, Amtrak's problems and viability are definite matters of national security. This book analyses the various issues surrounding Amtrak's past and future and includes a comprehensive bibliography.
Download or read book The Impact of Amtrak Performance in the Northeast Corridor written by Tolulope Ayoade Ogunbekun and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance of Amtrak's Acela and Regional services in the Northeast Corridor (NEC) is a topic that, while frequently discussed as substandard by some travelers, has received minimal attention in the compendium of open source research literature. Amidst leading discussions in U.S. Congress to reduce Amtrak's funding, the finances and policies required for track renovation, infrastructure maintenance and quality train operations are also compromised. This provides a backdrop and motivation for the work done in this thesis. Amtrak is a vital transportation provider on the Northeast Corridor serving travelers between Boston, MA and Washington, DC, including major cities such as Providence, RI; New Haven, CT; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; and Baltimore, MD. In Fiscal Year 2014, Amtrak had a record high of 11.6 million passengers on the Acela and Regional services combined. However, in FY 2014 only 3.9 million passengers arrived at their destination at the scheduled arrival time, that is, 7.4 million passengers experienced delays for a myriad of reasons. Furthermore, in 1981, Amtrak advertised Acela's predecessor (Express Metroliner) as trains that made the trip between Washington, D.C. and New York in 2 hours, 59 "civilized" minutes with a 92% on-time performance. Thirty-three years later, travel times in the NEC have barely improved; the Washington, DC - New York trip currently takes 2 hours 44 minutes on Acela and 3 hours 24 minutes on the Regional. Additionally, in FY 2014 overall on-time performance on the Acela and Regional services were 74% and 77%, respectively, despite a 10-minute delay threshold. This thesis focuses on Amtrak's Acela and Regional passengers, as well as the travel time performance of these services in the last ten years (2005 to 2014). The thesis evaluates different factors that lead to variability in ridership and service performance, as well as the impact of service performance on ridership. Another objective of the thesis is to hypothesize about how service performance affects future demand on the Acela and Regional services. This research lays the foundation for future work on the impact of Amtrak's performance, and measures needed to strengthen and improve intercity passenger rail in the Northeast Corridor.
Download or read book Commuter Rail Issues written by and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commuter rail agencies provide mobility to millions of people across the country, often using Amtrak infrastructure and services. Given these interactions, an abrupt Amtrak cessation could have a significant impact on commuter rail operations. Amtrak's chronic financial problems and recent budget proposals make such cessation possibility. This book was asked to examine:(1) The extent to which commuter rail agencies rely on Amtrak for access to infrastructure and services,(2) Issues that commuter rail agencies would face if Amtrak abruptly ceased to provide them with services and infrastructure access, and(3) The options available to commuter rail agencies should Amtrak abruptly cease to provide those services and infrastructure access.
