NEW ORLEANS – Amtrak closed Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25: Oct. 24 – Sept. 25) with record ridership and revenue, reflecting growing demand for passenger rail across the United States, including the Gulf South, and marking another year of strong performance for a system that has connected more than 500 destinations across 46 states and parts of Canada for more than 50 years.
Amtrak provided 34.5 million customer trips, setting all-time records for both ridership and revenue for the second consecutive year.

Customers responded with strong demand for quality service, driving revenue that outpaced ridership.

By prioritizing reliability and the customer experience, we’re laying the foundation for the next generation of passenger rail in America.”…
