Underscoring the growing demand for Amtrak across the United States, the company closed Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) with record ridership and revenue – marking another year of growth and strong performance. These results were achieved alongside improvements in the customer experience, reinforcing Amtrak’s commitment to quality service as the foundation for future growth.
Amtrak provided 34.5 million customer trips – setting all-time records for both ridership and revenue for the second consecutive year. Through deliberate planning and thoughtful execution, Amtrak increased network capacity by 4.3% despite the challenges of an aging fleet – and customers responded with a strong demand for quality service, driving revenue that outpaced ridership.
