Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES





How Much Should Amtrak Be Reimbursed

For Railroad Employees Using Passes

To Ride Its Trains?



The Amtrak Reorganization Act of 1979 re-
quired GAO to study the free or reduced rate
transportation Amtrak provides to railroad
and terminal company employees, retirees,
and their spouses and dependents under the
Rail Passenger Service Act. The act also re-
quired GAO to recommend the appropriate
neans to reimburse Amtrak for its costs to
provide the transportation.

As of December 1979, about 1 million people
were eligible. During 1979 they used Amtrak-
issued passes to make 384,000 trips and travel
140 million miles.

GAO concludes that the costs Amtrak incurs
to furnish transportation to pass riders are
debatable, and the Congress must decide for
which costs Amtrak should be reimbursed.
