------------------------------------------------------------------------

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation was established by Congress 
to meet the Nation's intercity passenger transportation needs.

The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) was created by the 
Rail Passenger Service Act of 1970, as amended (49 U.S.C. 241), and was 
incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia to provide a 
balanced national transportation system by developing, operating, and 
improving U.S. intercity rail passenger service.
    Amtrak operates approximately 300 trains per day, serving 510 
stations in 46 States, over a system of 21,800 route miles. Of this 
route system, Amtrak owns about 535 route miles in the Northeast 
Corridor, and several other small track segments elsewhere in the 
country.
    Amtrak owns or leases its stations and owns its own repair and 
maintenance facilities. The Corporation employs a total workforce of 
approximately 18,600 and provides all reservation, station, and on-board 
service staffs, as well as train and engine operating crews. Outside the 
Northeast Corridor, Amtrak contracts with privately or publicly owned 
railroads for the right to operate over their track. Under contract, 
these railroads are responsible for the condition of the roadbed and for 
coordinating the flow of traffic.
    In fiscal year 2006, Amtrak transported over 24 million people with 
66,000 passengers traveling on Amtrak per day. Also, Amtrak runs 
commuter trains under contract with several commuter agencies.
    Although Amtrak's basic route system was originally designated by 
the Secretary of Transportation in 1971, modifications have been made to 
the Amtrak system and to individual routes that have resulted in more 
efficient and cost-effective operations. In the face of budget 
constraints, new service will only be added if a State agrees to cover 
any operating losses.
