State of Oklahoma Amtrak Fact Sheet, Fiscal Year 2011 State of Oklahoma Amtrak-Oklahoma partnership z Grants from the State of Oklahoma help support the daily Heartland Flyer service between Oklahoma City and Fort Worth Amtrak Service & Ridership Amtrak serves Oklahoma with one corridor train, the Heartland Flyer (daily Oklahoma City-Fort Worth, Texas). The Heartland Flyer provides connections to the Amtrak national train network at Fort Worth. During FY11 Amtrak served the following Oklahoma locations: City Boardings + Alightings Ardmore 9,941 Norman 14,364 Oklahoma City 56,368 Pauls Valley 6,067 Purcell 2,152 Total Oklahoma Station Usage: 88,892 (up 2.5% from FY10) Procurement/Contracts Amtrak placed orders valued at $953,310 for goods and services in Oklahoma in FY11, most of it in Oklahoma City. Employment At the end of FY11, Amtrak employed 3 Oklahoma residents. Total wages of Amtrak employees living in Oklahoma were $181,070 during FY11. State-Assisted Services The Heartland Flyer has been funded by the State of Oklahoma since the train began service in 1999. Oklahoma has made capital upgrades to the BNSF Railway tracks in Oklahoma, allowing for speed increases to 79 mph over segments of the route and reducing the trip time for the Heartland Flyer. FY11 Amtrak Government Affairs: December 2011 ridership on Heartland Flyer trains was 2.8% above FY10. The State of Texas also began a contract partnership with Amtrak in FY07 to support the operation of the train. Green Energy Amtrak and the Oklahoma and Texas DOTs conducted the nation’s first-ever test of a cleaner and renewable biodiesel fuel blend to power the Heartland Flyer, with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the use of foreign oil. Amtrak received a $274,000 grant from the Federal Railroad Administration to carry out the research project in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation. The biodiesel blend includes beef byproduct and is provided by a Texas-based vendor. In earlier stationary locomotive engine testing, the biodiesel blend reduced hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide each by 10 percent, reduced particulates by 15 percent, and sulfates by 20 percent. Detailed measurements will be taken on the P32-8 locomotive at the end of 12 months so any impact of the biodiesel on valves and gaskets can be measured. Amtrak will collect locomotive exhaust emissions data for analysis in accordance with federal test protocols. The testing of a cleaner and renewable biodiesel fuel blend has made Time magazine’s list of “The 50 Best Inventions of 2010.” Expansion Planning The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) requested a study of options for the return of passenger rail service along a route between Oklahoma City and Kansas City, running via Ponca City and Perry, and Wichita and Newton, Kansas. The Feasibility Report of Proposed Amtrak Service provided an analysis of potential service scenarios, schedules, ridership and revenue estimates, required state operating contribution, and capital requirements to establish new service. The report provided four service scenarios encompassing a range of schedules and service end-points: • Extension of Fort Worth-Oklahoma City Heartland Flyer service to a connection with the Chicago-Kansas City-Topeka-Los Angeles Southwest Chief at Newton. Ridership - 92,500; capital cost - $156 million; revenue-$2.7 million. • New overnight Kansas City-Wichita-Oklahoma City-Fort Worth trains. Ridership - 118,200; capital cost - $317 million; revenue- $5.2 million. • New daytime Kansas City-Wichita-Oklahoma City-Fort Worth trains. Ridership – 174,000; capital cost-$479 million; revenue - $6.1 million. • New Kansas City-Topeka-Wichita-Oklahoma City trains. Ridership- 65,900; capital cost-$309 million; revenue - $2.1 million. Kansas engaged an outside contractor to refine further the assumptions from the Amtrak report. Amtrak, Oklahoma DOT, and Texas DOT cooperated in this effort and in November 2011, KDOT released a Service Development Plan (SDP), a comprehensive business and operating plan that looks at elements such as route schedule, projected ridership, infrastructure investments, operating support, and implementation. Completion of the SDP was required in order to be eligible to apply for potential, future, federal capital funding. KDOT will present to the SDP to their legislature for consideration. 2 Amorita Hardy Grainola Picher Forgan Braman Commerce Castaneda Sturgis Tyrone Mocane Capron Wakita Renfrow Newkirk Copan Nowata Hough Hooker Gate Foraker Herd Welch Kenton Knowles B uffalo Woods Byron Lenapah Miami Keyes Burton Eva Turpin Selman Alva Blackwell Kildare Centralia Beaver Freedom Shidler Delaware Ottawa Optima Adams Rosston Grant Medford Kay Uncas B artlesville Dewey Craig Fairland Wheeless Boise City Texas Harper Osage Boyd Clear Lake Laverne F airvalley Cherokee Lamont Burbank Afton Beaver Jet Nash Jefferson Cimarron Guymon Avard Tonkawa Washington Nowata Vinita Conrad Balko Elmwood Slapout May Pawhuska Goodwell Carmen Alfalfa Ponca City Ochelata Bernice Grove Hardesty Hillsdale Hunter Barnsdall F ort S upply Waynoka Helena Fairfax Wynona Talala Chelsea Ketchum Felt Texhoma Gray Logan Belva Aline Marland Catesby Carrier B illings Zena Ralston Vera Woodward Garber Red Rock Rogers Langley Jay E llis Mooreland Enid Hominy Adair Cleo Springs Noble Skiatook Foyil Fargo Woodward Meno Fairmont Pawnee Gage Garfield Sumner Cleveland Claremore Pryor Delaware Sharon Fairview Drummond Lucien Pawnee Owasso Salina S hattuck Waukomis Morrison Colcord Chester Major Maramec Mayes Mutual Ames Perry Glencoe Tulsa Tulsa Vici Bison Orlando Catoosa ChouteauLocust Grove Arnett S eiling Inola AMTRAK ROUTES IN Harmon Cestos Okeene Lacey Yale Sand Hennessey Mulhall Stillwater Broken Arrow Taloga Springs Jenks Peggs Moodys Canton Lovell Payne Sapulpa Camargo Loyal Dover Drumright OKLAHOMA Trail Dewey Logan Coyle Cushing Coweta Wagoner Cherokee Oakwood Blaine Perkins Creek Glenpool Kingfisher Crescent Langston Avery Bixby Wagoner Baron Leedey Putnam Tahlequah Crawford Rhea Bristow Mounds Okay Park Hill S tilwell Fay Watonga Seward Carney Haskell Roll Kingfisher Guthrie Lincoln Stroud Thomas Depew Beggs Okmulgee Muskogee Fort Gibson Adair Roger Mills Chandler Strong City Custer Greenfield Piedmont Davenport Preston Bunch Butler Geary Edmond Braggs Mackie Custer City Okmulgee Morris Boynton Reydon Hammon Oklahoma Sparks Welty Mus kogee Marble City C heyenne Arapaho Hydro Oklahoma City Hitchita Gore Sequoyah TRACK OWNERSHIP El Reno Grayson Warner Vian Grimes C linton WeatherfordHinton Boley Okfuskee Checotah Berlin Foss Canadian Okemah S allisaw Elk City Midwest City Johnson Roland Bessie Corn Mustang Henryetta McIntos h Amtrak NS Cogar Cromwell Weleetka Porum Sayre Washita Eakly Binger T uttle Moore Tucker Cleveland Bethel Acres Shawnee Dill City New Cordell Newcastle Seminole Eufaula Hoyt Stigler Fort Coffee Texola Carter Alfalfa Albert Seminole Wetumka Dustin Keota Beckham Gracemont Spiro UP CP Erick Sentinel Caddo Norman Hughes Haskell Panama Blanchard Crowder Quinton Rocky Carnegie Fort Cobb Noble P ottawatomie Wewoka Lamar McCurtain Cambridge Maud Willow Chickasha Scipio Poteau BNSF CN Gotebo S laughterville Pearson Holdenville Greer Hobart Broxton Anadarko Blocker Granite NinnekahPurcell Lexington Asher Konawa Sasakwa C alvin Red Oak McClain Wilburton Wister Vinson Apache Cyril McAlester Krebs Leflore Heavener Kiowa Grady Alex Heartland Flyer Byars Byng CSX Other Mangum Roosevelt C ooperton Lindsay Harmon Paoli Allen Cold Springs Rush Stratford Savanna Latimer Le Flore Blair Fletcher Pittsburg Hartshorne Elgin Springs Maysville Ada Talihina Martha Comanche Blanco Whitesboro Page Hollis Medicine Park Kiowa Yanush Snyder Marlow Garvin Pauls Valley Stonewall Coal Weathers Cache Elmore City Fitzhugh Gould Jackson Lawton Wynnewood Tupelo Albion Altus Headrick Indiahoma Clayton Olustee Bray Joy Pontotoc Honobia Sulphur Octavia Manitou Geronimo Duncan Stephens Coalgate Nashoba Tipton Faxon Tatums Davis Stringtown Eldorado Elmer Tillman Velma R atliff C ity Murray Mill Creek Bromide Pushmataha Pickens Walters Atoka Frederick Comanche Johnston Atoka Loco Springer Moyers Finley Cotton Temple Lane Davidson Grandfield Healdton Lone Ravia Tishomingo Addington Carter RattanRingold Randlett Ringling Caney Antlers Devol Waurika Grove Kenefic McCurtain Madill C addo Sugden J efferson Ardmore Speer Fort Wright City Grady Overbrook Mars hall Silo Boswell Soper Choctaw Eagletown Bryan Towson Broken Bow Ryan Love Hugo Kingston Durant Marietta Bennington Garvin Terral Leon Albany Goodwater Colbert Idabel Thackerville Harris Tom TO FORT WORTH --Amtrak Government Affairs, summer 2011.
