The Corporation employs a total workforce of approximately 20,000 and provides all reservation, station, and onboard service staffs, as well as train and engine operating crews.

Capital funding has increased in recent years, allowing Amtrak to make progress in bringing its network to a state of good repair and in reducing debt load.</Paragraph>
