The Carbondale-Marion Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), comprised of Jackson and Williamson County, has a population of 126,430. Home to Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC), Carbondale is the economic center of Southern Illinois. The university has a total of 17,292 full and part-time students, and a total of 5,917 employees with an annual payroll of over $293 million. In addition, SIUC is ranked among the top 5% of all research universities in the US. Carbondale is also home Southern Illinois Healthcare (SIH) and its flagship healthcare facility, Memorial Hospital of Carbondale (MHC). Together, SIH and MHC employ 3,700 people system-wide, contributing $266 million in salaries to the region. The Carbondale-Marion MSA has an annual GDP of $5.2 billion and unemployment rate of 4.3%, just under the national average. Carbondale and Jackson County have an unemployment rate of 3.6%. The nearby counties of Franklin, Perry, Union, and Williamson are designated Labor Surplus Areas by the U.S. Department of Labor. This represents a potential labor supply and opportunity for businesses with federal contracts. Carbondale is also home to an educated labor force with 48% of the population over the age of 25 holding either a bachelor’s or graduate degree. The median household income in Carbondale is $17,764 and the mean is $37,640. The per capita income is $15,177. Because Carbondale is a university community with a large student population, this data can be misleading. The median family income is $40,092 and the mean is $65,148. This is still below the Illinois median household income of $57,574. However, the cost of living in Carbondale is less than the rest of the state. The “living” annual income before taxes for one working adult in Carbondale is $20,947 versus $24,384 for the state. Situated on U.S. Route 51 and Illinois Route 13, Carbondale has access to I-57, I-24, I-64, and I- 55. St. Louis, MO located 104 miles northwest has an approximate travel time of 2 hours; Nashville, TN located 203 miles southeast has an approximate travel time of 3 hours; and Chicago, IL located 332 miles north has an approximate travel time of 5 hours. In addition, the Carbondale Amtrak Station provides train service to Chicago, IL to the north and New Orleans, LA to the south. 1 Demographics This data was compiled from the American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates done by the U.S. Census Bureau.

INTRODUCTION The Southern Illinois Airport has been a significant economic entity in Jackson County for many years. The potential for further economic growth was realized in the 1990’s when the cities of Carbondale and Murphysboro joined with the Southern Illinois Airport Authority and the Jackson County Board to form the Jackson County Business Development Corporation, now known as Jackson Growth Alliance, to promote economic development at the Southern Illinois Airport. A major initiative of the Jackson County Business Development Corporation was to promote the development of an educational facility at the airport that would provide a permanent home for Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s Aviation Technology, Aviation Flight and Management and Automotive Technology programs. These efforts supported the work of SIU, the State of Illinois and the Southern Illinois Airport Authority that culminated in the opening of the $60 million SIU Transportation Education Center in 2012. The Transportation Education Center presents tremendous economic development opportunities at the Southern Illinois Airport.

  • 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.
