Amtrak logged record ridership and revenue during fiscal-year 2025 ending Sept. 30, the railroad announced today in its year-end report.
The railroad provided 34.5 million rider trips, a 5.1% increase over FY24 and an all-time record, and collected adjusted ticket revenue of $2.7 billion, a first in Amtrak’s history and 10.4% higher year over year, Amtrak officials said in a press release.
Amtrak's total operating revenue rose 9% to $3.9 billion in FY25 compared to FY24. Adjusted operating earnings was a $598.4 million loss, a 15.1% improvement from a year ago. That FY25 bottom line puts the railroad on track to achieve train operational profitability by FY28, Amtrak officials said.
Also in FY25, Amtrak:
• passengers rode 6.9 billion miles in FY25, a new all-time high;
• launched the Mardi Gras route along the Gulf Coast and NextGen Acela on the Northeast Corridor; and
• invested a record $5.5 billion, up 24% year-over-year, in major capital projects and state-of-good-repair initiatives.
Amtrak President Roger Harris attributed the railroad's successes in FY25 to efforts aimed at improving service and the riders' experience while on board the trains.
"Amtrak’s operational success is not just about moving more people — it’s about moving them better,” said Harris. “These results show what’s possible when we lead with purpose. By prioritizing reliability and the customer experience, we’re laying the foundation for the next generation of passenger rail in America."
