Genuine Structural Reform of Amtrak Would Unlock Growth, Lower Fares and Improve Performance
ALLRAIL welcomes reports that the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), through the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), is exploring structural reform of Amtrak into separate infrastructure, rolling stock and train operations entities.
International evidence is clear: where infrastructure management is genuinely separated from train operations - and markets are opened under transparent, nondiscriminatory rules - passenger numbers grow, fares fall and taxpayers receive better value.
But reform must be real.

In this article for the US passenger rail sector, ALLRAIL stresses how, in the EU, private and public and private operators compete with each other by enhancing service, offering better fares, punctuality, amenities and more. Without any similar competitive pressure, Amtrak will lack the incentive to innovate.
