Monthly data, not seasonally adjusted

Amtrak Ridership

Amtrak Ridership Sep-14 Sep-15
Amtrak Ridership 2,519,583 2,472,007
Percent change from same month previous year + 3.3% - 1.9%

NOTES: The current value is compared to the value from the same period in the previous year to account for seasonality.

Starting with October 2013, Amtrak began counting actual lifted ridership for multi-ride tickets, rather than estimating multi-ride ridership. One result is that adjusted ridership for earlier periods is generally two to three percent lower than under the new standard. More information is available in Amtrak's Monthly Performance Reports, available at http://www.amtrak.com.
