Key Performance Indicators

Rail Cost per Passenger Trip

Definition: Rail Cost per Passenger Trip measures operating cost of providing rail service per unlinked passenger boarding.

 

Performance (June 2024):

The Cost per Rail Passenger Trip of $11.34 in June exceeded the forecast by $1.45. This unfavorable variance was due to operating expenses coming in over budget. The 2024 Fiscal Year-End (months of July through June) Cost per Rail Passenger Trip of $8.93 exceeded the forecast by $0.49. This unfavorable variance was due to rail ridership falling short of the forecast by 0.5 million unlinked passenger trips and operating expenses coming in over budget.
