  • TRAIN OPERATIONS: Better Estimates Needed of the Financial Impacts of Poor On- Time Performance
    TRAIN OPERATIONS: Better Estimates Needed of the Financial Impacts of Poor On- Time Performance OIG-A-2020-001 | October 14, 2019 This page intentionally left blank. Memorandum To: Stephen Gardner Senior Executive Vice President / Chief Operating and Commercial Officer From: Jim Morrison Assistant Inspector General, Audits Date: October 14, 2019 Subject: Train Operations: Better Estimates Needed of the Financial Impacts of Poor On-Time Performance (OIG-A-2020-001) On-time performance (OTP)1 of Amtrak’s (the company) trains has been a longstanding challenge for the company, which identifies poor OTP as a key factor driving its annual operating loss⎯ about $171 million in fiscal year (FY) 2018. In that year, 27 percent of the company’s trains were late, with some routes performing better than others. The company’s best performing routes were its state supported and Northeast Corridor (NEC) lines, which arrived on time 81 percent and 78 percent of the time, respectively. Long distance routes, however, typically performed the worst; just 46 percent of trains arrived on time, and the average delay was 49 minutes. Experts agree that there is a financial correlation between trains being on time and a railroad’s financial performance. A 2008 report by the Department of Transportation (DOT) Office of Inspector General (OIG) quantified the financial impacts of the company’s poor OTP.2 That report found that poor OTP weakens the company’s financial position by reducing revenues and increasing operating costs. In February 2019, Congress directed3 our office to update DOT OIG’s report. To fulfill this mandate, we developed an econometric model that estimates ranges of short-term revenue opportunities and cost savings based on improved OTP.4 We modeled the financial impacts of improving OTP on each route by 5 percentage points, which is more conservative than prior efforts and below the company’s stated OTP goals.

The following sections provide an overview of the project and its relationship to the Chicago Region Environmental and Transportation Efficiency (CREATE) Program, identify and describe the project study area, and detail the specific transportation needs that the Grand Crossing Rail Project will address. The chapter also discusses the overall planning context for the project, including a history of the project, and its relationship to regional planning efforts. 1.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW 1.1.1 The CREATE Program The CREATE Program is a joint effort of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), and the Association of American Railroads (AAR) to restructure, modernize, and expand freight and passenger rail facilities and highway grade separations in the Chicago metropolitan area. A project of national and regional significance, CREATE will invest billions in critically needed capital improvements to increase the efficiency of the region's rail infrastructure. CREATE will reduce train and automobile delays throughout the Chicago area by focusing rail traffic on four rail corridors that will be improved to handle passenger and freight traffic more efficiently. The work includes 70 projects identified through a preliminary screening process as described in the CREATE Program Final Feasibility Plan (August 2005, amended 2009 and 2011). These projects

The improvements for 110 mph service include the installation of new premium rail with concrete ties and stone ballast; upgrades to bridges, culverts and drainage; signal and wayside equipment installations and upgrades; and roadway-rail grade crossing improvements. As of June 16, work will progress to north of Bloomington-Normal and most days it will lead Amtrak to charter motorcoaches for Amtrak Lincoln Service (Trains 300-307) passengers at St. Louis, Alton, Carlinville, Springfield, Lincoln, Normal, Pontiac, Dwight, Joliet and Summit, Ill. The Amtrak Texas Eagle (Trains 21/321/421 & 22/322/422) will detour between Chicago and St. Louis for the same period, with alternate transportation in both directions between Joliet and St. Louis. In order to expedite travel between Chicago and downstate, many of the motorcoaches will connect to and from Amtrak Illini and Saluki trains in Champaign-Urbana to avoid Chicago suburban highway congestion and downtown Chicago traffic. The attached Passenger Service Notice covers the details of the work. Notices about this disruption are also posted at stations and displayed as part of the booking process on Amtrak.com.
