Amtrak's Office of Inspector General announced Thursday that it is beginning an audit into Amtrak’s processes for managing cost-sharing on state-supported routes.
The OIG says it's objective is to "evaluate the company’s actions to address longstanding concerns with the PRIIA 209 cost-sharing methodology and the company’s billing process with its State partners."
If you're an Amtrak fan, this isn't particularly great news.
If you're a passenger rail advocate, this is fantastic news.
Quoting my friends at All Aboard Washington, "Many states have complained that Amtrak's accounting for such costs is opaque, leaving local officials with inadequate knowledge of how Amtrak costs are calculated. The Amtrak Inspector General announced today that it would audit cost-sharing on state-supported routes. This is good news for taxpayers."
