    Amtrak General and Legislative Annual Report & FY2022 Grant Request

    April , The Honorable Kamala Harris President of the Senate U.S. Capitol Washington, DC The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House of Representatives U.S. Capitol Washington, DC Dear Madam President and Madam Speaker: I am pleased to transmit Amtrak’s Fiscal Year (FY) General and Legislative Annual Report to Congress, which includes our FY grant request, legislative proposals, and a summary of the various actions taken by Amtrak to respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. To overcome the setbacks to service and financial performance we faced during this crisis, we seek Congress’s continued strong support in FY so that we can return to the successes and growth we accomplished in FY . Amtrak is poised to be a key part of the nation’s post-pandemic recovery and low-carbon transportation future, but to do so we require continued Federal government support, including robust investment. Despite the difficulties of the past year, Amtrak was able to achieve significant accomplishments and continue progressing vital initiatives, such as: . Safety: Completed Positive Train Control (PTC) installation and operation everywhere it was required across entire network and advanced our industry-leading Safety Management System (SMS). Moynihan Train Hall: Amtrak, in partnership with New York State and the Long Island Rail Road, opened the first modern, large-scale intercity train station built in the U.S. in over years. FY Capital Investment: Performed $. billion in infrastructure and fleet work. FY Ridership: Provided . million customer trips, which, while a decrease of . million passengers from FY owing to the pandemic-related travel reductions; reflects record performance during the five months preceding the onset of the Coronavirus.
