Baltimore Penn Station Investment and Development Program NEC.AMTRAK.COM BALTIMORE PENN STATION INVESTMENT AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Baltimore Penn Station is a major multimodal transportation hub serving the greater Baltimore region and is a vital link along the busy Northeast Corridor. With its classic Beaux-Arts architecture, the historic station was built in 1911 and anchors the Charles North District in Baltimore City. Penn Station serves Amtrak’s high speed Acela Express, Northeast Regional and long-distance train services. In addition, the commuter operations of MARC’s Penn Line, the city’s light rail, regional bus service, and university shuttles can all be accessed via the station. Photography: Mark Dennis Fiscal Year 2015 was a banner year Baltimore Penn Station is a treasured historic asset, a vital multimodal hub, and a community gathering place.

NEC.AMTRAK.COM ADVANCING NEAR-TERM IMPROVEMENTS Rail Infrastructure Improvements Northeast Corridor ridership is projected to double by 2040, requiring rail and infrastructure improvements at Baltimore Penn Station and other stations to support this growing demand. To address this growth, Amtrak is advancing planning and design for additional track infra- structure to support a new fleet of Acela Express trains that will run with a second hourly frequency beginning in 2020.

State Of Good Repair Built in 1911, Baltimore Penn station has served the re- gion well for over a century, but its physical condition is in need of rehabilitation. In 2014, the Maryland Depart- ment of Transportation and the City of Baltimore funded a State of Good Repair study to comprehensively evaluate the station’s current condition and provide a tiered set of prioritized phased improvements to the station.

  • Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021
    Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021 April 2016 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission (the Commission) to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non-voting representatives from four freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region.

Thank you for inviting me to testify at this hearing on behalf of Amtrak. My name is William Flynn, and I am Amtrak’s Chief Executive Officer. I am particularly honored to be representing Amtrak at this hearing. It takes place six days after Pres- ident Biden traveled to Philadelphia to join us in celebrating Amtrak’s fiftieth anniversary. The American Jobs Plan he has proposed, which would provide $^S billion for Amtrak and high- speed and intercity passenger rail, is an important first step in developing an improved passenger rail system that would enhance mobility by serving more communities; provide more frequent and more equitable service; generate significant economic benefits; and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Amtrak has accomplished a great deal since we began service on May T, T\UT with a mandate to transform unprofitable intercity passenger rail services operated by private railroads into “a modern, efficient intercity railroad passenger service”1 – with an initial appropriation of only $YS million.
