WASHINGTON — Through continued investment in safety and the customer experience, Amtrak delivered its best operating performance in company history this past fiscal year. The company set new records for ridership, revenue and financial performance on its path to achieving operational break-even in the fiscal year 2020.

Amtrak set a company record of 32.5 million customer trips, a year-over-year increase of 800,000 passengers. Most of the increases came in the NE Corridor where significant improvements have been made over the past 12 months. Ridership on long-distance routes, which includes the SW Chief, saw ridership climb just under 1%.

Individual route numbers are not yet available.
