Arizona’s congested transportation system diminishes of life in Northern Arizona, the quality of life for Arizonans increasing air pollution, literally building communities congestion related delays, and negatively impacting the state’s like Flagstaff and Winslow, economy. Conversely, for a relatively small investment, Amtrak bringing economic activity could return to Phoenix, the Sunset Limited/Texas Eagle to the cities served along Route 66. That came to an end in could operate daily, and the Southwest Chief could return October when Amtrak reduced the Southwest Chief route to to daily service across Northern Arizona. It is often in rural three day per week service, along with all long-distance train communities, like Yuma and Winslow, where passenger rail service in the United States. This cutback is expected to create has the biggest impact. These communities have fewer public economic losses of $239 million in the first nine months to transportation options, and the train serves as a vital lifeline for the communities served from Chicago to Los Angeles. These residents and visitors alike. cuts will not help Amtrak’s bottom line and may do permanent The outlook does not have to be bleak.

This briefing was in response to a May 30, 1984, request from interested members of Congress that we evaluate the methodologies Amtrak used to analyze the market potential for reinstating passenger rail service through Oklahoma. As we agreed Ft the time of the briefing, this report provides a written summary of our result;. Our work assessed whether the revenue and cost projection models and supporting data bases that Amtrak used for the Oklahoma route analyses reasonably represented actual market conditions and costs for the proposed Amtrak routes. On the basis of our review of the models and data bases, we also evaluated the supportability of Amtrak's conclusions regarding the financial and ridership Qerformance of the seven Oklahoma route options. This report is based largely on information obtained from Amtrak and on interviews with Amtrak officials directly responsi- ble for the development and operation of the revenue and cost orojection systems and data bases we evaluated. Although there were some problems with the documentation of the revenue model and its data bases that precluded us from fully applying appropriate model evaluation methods, the information did allow us to provide iqnificant observations regarding Amtrak's current methodologies or estimating revenues on proposed passenger service routes.
