Overview of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak)
The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, commonly known as Amtrak, plays a crucial role in meeting America's intercity passenger transportation needs. Established in 1970 by the Rail Passenger Service Act and incorporated in the District of Columbia, Amtrak is tasked with developing, operating, and enhancing the U.S. intercity rail passenger service. The corporation oversees roughly 300 trains daily, connecting over 500 stations in 46 states through a vast network covering 21,800 route miles. Among these, Amtrak directly owns approximately 530 route miles, primarily in the Northeast Corridor.
Employing a workforce of about 19,000, Amtrak is responsible for all reservation, station, and onboard services. In regions outside the Northeast Corridor, the company operates on tracks owned by various railroads under contractual agreements, whereby these railroads uphold track conditions and manage traffic.
