| Title: | Amtrak's Performance, Budget, and Passenger Rail Service Issues |
| Date: | March 14, 2002 |
| Type: | Testimony |
| CC-2002-122 | |
| Summary: | Testifying on Amtrak issues before the Senate Commerce Committee, the Inspector General said Amtrak would not meet its mandate to achieve operating self-sufficiency by December 2002. The most critical issue confronting Amtrak is not operating assistance, he said, but how much capital investment will be needed to sustain a system of intercity passenger rail service. The IG concluded that the Administration's FY 2003 Amtrak budget request of $521 million is not sufficient to provide the needed capital for the railroad. |
