Performance (September 2024):
The
Cost per Rail Passenger Trip of $10.03 in September exceeded the forecast
by $3.07. This unfavorable variance was due to operating expenses coming in
over budget and rail ridership falling short of the forecast by 0.6 million. The
2025 Fiscal Year-to-Date (months of July through September) Cost per Rail
Passenger Trip of $10.84 exceeded the forecast by $2.90. This unfavorable
variance was due to rail ridership falling short of the forecast by 1.3 million
unlinked passenger trips and operating expenses coming in over budget.
