Download or read book Amtrak written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the National Rail Passenger Corporation's (Amtrak) feeder bus service to its network of intercity passenger trains, focusing on: (1) whether Amtrak is using its federal operating grant to subsidize the bus service; and (2) bus passengers' contributions to covering the cost of their train trips as compared to other Amtrak passengers' contributions. GAO found that: (1) Amtrak does not use federal funds to subsidize its feeder bus operations; (2) 15 of the 30 charter bus routes are part of California's state-supported system, which offsets the losses on 14 of its routes; (3) the revenues generated by California bus passengers more than cover the marginal costs of transporting those additional passengers on Amtrak trains; (4) the 13 charter routes outside of the California system earn more than enough to cover the full costs of the bus contract and the marginal costs of the bus passengers' train trips; (5) both bus and rail passengers benefit from the federal subsidy supporting the rail portion of their trip; (6) for the non-California bus routes, bus passengers pay about as much per mile for their train trips as the rail-only passengers; (7) passengers from several bus routes pay slightly less per mile for their train trip than other rail passengers; and (8) bus passengers represent net revenue to Amtrak and lessen the amount of the federal subsidy needed to operate Amtrak.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the National Railroad Passenger Corporation's (Amtrak) Revenue Enhancement Program, which Amtrak used to generate income by competing with the private sector in order to reduce federal subsidies, focusing on: (1) the impact of Amtrak's revenue enhancement activities on reducing the federal subsidy; and (2) whether Amtrak competed fairly when bidding on a 1988 rail welding contract. GAO found that: (1) although Amtrak generated net income of $140.9 million between 1984 and 1988, that did not substantially reduce Amtrak's $3-billion federal subsidy; (2) Amtrak's revenue enhancement activities would not greatly reduce the need for federal subsidies, since it generated the revenues from leases that would expire by 2004, the maintenance facilities that it could use for mass transit passenger car assembly were at or near capacity, and competition outside the Northeast corridor was limited because of high transportation costs; (3) Amtrak did not provide Congress with detailed financial information concerning current and planned revenue enhancement projects and their contribution to total projected revenue; and (4) it was unclear whether Amtrak competed fairly for the track welding contract, because it used outdated cost data, its profit margin was lower than customary, and it did not properly segregate and assign all contract costs.
