The Honorable Pete Buttigieg

U.S. Secretary of Transportation

1200 New Jersey Ave, SE

Washington, DC 20590

Dear Secretary Buttigieg:

Amtrak and Metro-North are issuing an updated joint letter, replacing the original letter dated August 1, 

2021, as there was an incorrect listing of the number of uncertified trains.

The Metrics and Minimum Standards for Intercity Passenger Rail Service final rule set forth at 49 C.F.R. 

Part 273 and published by the Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”) on November 16, 2020 (the 

“Final Rule”), introduces a certified schedule metric that requires Amtrak to report to the FRA the 

number of certified Amtrak schedules, uncertified schedules, and disputed schedules, by train, route, and 

host railroad.

The Final Rule defines a “certified schedule” as a published Amtrak train schedule that Amtrak and the 

host railroad jointly certify is aligned with the customer on-time performance (“OTP”) metric and 

standard set forth in the Final Rule. The customer OTP metric is the percentage of all customers who 

arrive at their detraining point no later than fifteen (15) minutes after their published scheduled arrival 

time, reported by train and by route, and the customer OTP standard is eighty (80) percent for any two

consecutive calendar quarters. See 49 C.F.R. 273.5(a)(1) & (2). 

As required by the Final Rule, Amtrak and Metro-North Commuter Railroad Company (MNRR) are 

transmitting this joint letter reporting the following schedules that remain uncertified as of July 31, 2021, 

as agreement has not been reached on whether the schedules are aligned with the customer OTP metric 

and standard:

1. Acela Trains 2150, 2151, 2154, 2155, 2159, 2160, 2163, 2164, 2165, 2167, 2168, 2169, 2171, 

2173, 2175, 2190, 2249, 2250, 2251, 2252, 2253, 2254, 2255, 2256, 2257, 2258, 2259, 2260, 

2261, 2275 and 2290

however, we do have an agreement with MNRR to certify 20 more schedules effective with Amtrak

schedule changes on August 29, 2021 and August 30, 2021.

Exhibit A details Amtrak’s position regarding the components of the train schedules upon which Amtrak 

and MNRR have not yet agreed, and also elaborates on the 20 schedules anticipated to be certified 

shortly, signed by me.

Exhibit B details MNRR’s position regarding the components of the train schedules upon which Amtrak 

and MNRR have not yet agreed, signed by MNRR President Catherine Rinaldi.

Amtrak and MNRR continue to meet regularly and hope to come to an agreement on the certification of 

all schedules. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the information provided in this 

transmittal.

Exhibit A

Amtrak’s position regarding the disagreed upon components of the train schedules.

The Final Rule defines a “certified schedule” as a published train schedule that Amtrak and the host railroad 

jointly certify is aligned with the customer on-time performance (“OTP”) metric and standard set forth in 

the Final Rule. In order to determine whether a train schedule is aligned with the customer OTP metric, 

Amtrak developed an analytical framework to review each schedule and its alignment with the customer 

OTP metric. Fundamentally, the analytical framework confirms whether the schedule works to minimize 

passenger delay while giving riders the greatest opportunity to arrive at their destinations on-time. Several 

criteria, listed below, were rigorously analyzed to determine whether the schedule was appropriately aligned 

to the customer OTP metric.

1. Prior Customer OTP Schedule Modifications. If Amtrak and the host railroad previously 

agreed to modify the schedule to align with customer OTP, and no significant changes in 

passenger deboarding patterns were evident since that agreement, that schedule was determined 

to be aligned with the customer OTP metric. 

2. Strong Historical Performance. While certification directly relates to the schedule, not actual 

performance, if a train has regularly exceeded the minimum standard 80% customer OTP, that 

schedule was deemed to be aligned with the customer OTP metric. 

3. Recovery Time-Ridership Correlation. Amtrak performed a regression analysis for each 

schedule to calculate the correlation between the placement of recovery time in the schedule and 

the number of detraining riders at each station. If the regression result was strong (0.5 or more), 

the train schedule was determined to be aligned with the customer OTP metric. 

4. Recovery Time Distributed to Passenger Benefit. Amtrak developed a measurement of the 

schedule’s recovery time distribution to determine whether that time is effectively placed to help 

passengers. If the recovery time is placed in advance of detraining passengers to help them arrive 

on-time, then, based on a consistent calculation for all trains, the schedule was determined to be 

aligned with the customer OTP metric.

These criteria which Amtrak used as the basis to certify schedules were included in our December 18, 

2020 schedule certification proposal to Metro-North Commuter Railroad (MNRR). Amtrak and Metro 

North have been meeting regularly in order to review certify the schedules. 

MNRR has continued to advise that they would not certify schedules for trains that were not currently 

running. Amtrak agreed to postpone the discussion of those schedules until July; however, MNRR has thus 

far maintained their position. In MNRR’s exhibit B for the June 1 letter, they indicated that according to 

their calculations, there was a 1-minute – 8-minute runtime deficiency in 73 of the schedules for trains that 

were currently operating. Of these schedules, 12 had a 1-minute runtime deficiency and 11 had a 2-minute 

runtime deficiency. In an attempt to progress the schedule certification, Amtrak proposed on June 22 to 

add 1 minute to each of these 23 schedules in exchange for certifying them. Metro North agreed to certify 

one of the trains, train 173, and it was reported as certified in the July 1 letter. Amtrak and Metro North 

then agreed to certify an additional 20 schedules, which will go into effect in August and be reported in the 

September 1 letter. The 20 schedules are:

1. Acela Trains 2169, 2173, 2249, 2250, 2251, 2252, and 2257 

2. Northeast Regional Trains 135, 136, 139, 143, 161, 162, 166, 169, 170, 172, 175 and 190 
3. Richmond/Newport News/Norfolk Trains 157 

Table 1 lists each uncertified train schedule by service and notes which criteria were met for each schedule

that led to Amtrak’s determination that the schedule is aligned with customer OTP. Amtrak looks forward 

to continuing to work with MNRR to certify the following schedules.

Exhibit B 

Metro-North Commuter Railroad Company’s (“Metro-North”) position on the disagreedupon components of Amtrak’s train schedules. 

Metro-North, a New York State public benefit corporation and subsidiary of the Metropolitan 

Transportation Authority (“MTA”), operates the second-busiest commuter railroad in the country. 

Pre-COVID, Metro-North operated 713 weekday revenue trains carrying an average of 289,000 

weekday riders. Pursuant to certain Trackage Rights Agreements between Metro-North and 

Amtrak, Amtrak operates over Metro-North’s New Haven and Hudson Lines (Metro-North’s 

“territory”). Amtrak enters Metro-North’s New Haven Line territory in New Haven, CT and leaves 

the New Haven Line in New Rochelle, NY, continuing on to Penn Station in midtown Manhattan. 

Amtrak enters Metro-North’s Hudson Line territory in Poughkeepsie, NY and exits near Riverdale 

in the Bronx, NY, again continuing on to Penn Station. 

The Metrics and Minimum Standards for Intercity Passenger Rail Service, 49 C.F.R. Part 273, 

published by the Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”) on November 16, 2020 (the “Final 

Rule”) defines a “certified schedule” as a published train schedule for Amtrak trains that Amtrak 

and the host railroad jointly certify is aligned with the Customer On-Time Performance (“OTP”) 

metric and standard set forth in the Final Rule. To ensure Amtrak’s train schedules meet the 

Customer OTP metric and standard, Amtrak’s schedules must provide trains with sufficient 

running time while in Metro-North’s territory. Amtrak’s trains traverse long distances; MetroNorth has no control over events outside of its territory and must account for such unknowns in its 

review and certification of Amtrak’s schedules. As such, the “host running time” metric, also 

established by the Final Rule, which compares a train’s actual running time with the scheduled 

running time between the first and final reporting points for a host railroad, is important and must 

be accurately calculated prior to certification to demonstrate the schedule adjustments necessary 

for Amtrak trains to have enough time to traverse Metro-North’s territory and successfully meet 

the Customer OTP metric and standard. 

Almost all of the schedules Amtrak has asked Metro-North to certify were set prior to the COVID19 pandemic, and several of these pre-COVID trains have not been operating through the 

pandemic. Additionally, many schedules Amtrak has requested Metro-North to certify have not 

been provided by Amtrak to Metro-North for review. It remains Metro-North’s position that 

certifying schedules (1) for Amtrak trains that have not been operating for over a year and/or (2) 

have not been reviewed or adjusted to account for pre- and post-COVID-19 realities and ridership 

changes is premature. Therefore, Metro-North will not certify train schedules that are not 

currently running and have no projected effective date. A schedule can only be certified when 

the parties are fully aware of the conditions the train will be operating in, which may change. 

Similarly, any future adjustments Amtrak seeks to make to previously certified schedules may 

invalidate Metro-North’s certifications and require re-review and re-certification. 

After discussions with Amtrak in June and July, Metro-North is continuing to use the framework 

outlined below to analyze Amtrak’s schedules to determine whether the Amtrak schedules meet 

the Customer OTP metric and standard and can be certified. Based on this, Amtrak and MetroNorth have reached an agreement to certify an additional twenty (20) train schedules effective with 

an Amtrak schedule change on August 30, 2021. 
Page 2 of 2

1. Does the Amtrak train currently operate? Due to COVID-19, in Spring 2020 Amtrak 

reduced the number of trains operating on Metro-North’s territory. Amtrak has returned a few 

trains to service, but many pre-COVID trains remain suspended. Metro-North is unaware of 

Amtrak’s plans to resume suspended services. 

2. Does Metro-North have a schedule for this Amtrak train? Train schedules provided to 

Metro-North of currently operating trains since May 2020 and proposed for July 2021 service 

restoration have been reviewed for certification. Train schedules not provided to Metro-North or 

that have been suspended since May 2020 were not analyzed for certification as Metro-North has 

no schedule to reference. 

3. What actions has Metro-North taken? Metro-North has either analyzed schedules that 

Amtrak has provided to determine whether they can be certified, or Metro-North is awaiting a 

schedule proposal from Amtrak to review for certification. 

4. What is the definition of Metro-North’s calculated running time for Amtrak trains on 

Metro-North territory? This is Metro-North’s calculated schedule of pure running time, station 

stops, acceleration, braking, diverting movements and recovery time for Amtrak trains on MetroNorth territory in order for the schedule to be reliable and certifiable. 

5. What is the definition of Amtrak’s current running time? This is the current Amtrak 

schedule for the Amtrak train on Metro-North’s territory. 

6. What is the definition of running-time deficiency? This is the delta between Metro-North’s 

calculated running times and the current Amtrak schedule.

The Honorable Pete Buttigieg

U.S. Secretary of Transportation 

1200 New Jersey Ave, SE

Washington, DC 20590

Dear Secretary Buttigieg: 

The Metrics and Minimum Standards for Intercity Passenger Rail Service final rule published by the 

Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”) on November 16, 2020 (the “Final Rule”), introduces a 

certified schedule metric that requires the FRA to report the number of certified Amtrak schedules, 

uncertified schedules, and disputed schedules, by train, route, and host railroad.

The Final Rule defines a “certified schedule” as a published Amtrak train schedule that Amtrak and the 

host railroad jointly certify is aligned with the customer on-time performance (“OTP”) metric and 

standard set forth in the Final Rule. 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Final Rule, Amtrak and Southern California Regional Rail Authority 

(SCRRA) are transmitting this letter regarding the following schedules that remain uncertified as of July

31, 2021, as agreement has not been reached on whether the schedule is aligned to customer OTP:

1. Coast Starlight Trains 11 and 14

2. Pacific Surfliner Trains 561, 562, 564, 565, 566, 569, 572, 573, 578, 579, 580, 583, 584, 590, 

591, 593, 595, 759, 763, 767, 768, 774, 777, 782, 785, 792, 796, 1564, 1565, 1566, 1569, 1572, 

1573, 1584, 1590, 1591, 1761 and 1767

3. Southwest Chief Trains 3 and 4

4. Sunset Limited Trains 1 and 2. 

Exhibit A details Amtrak’s position regarding the components of the train schedules which are disagreed 

upon, signed by me.

A supplemental exhibit providing SCRRA’s position regarding the components of the train schedules 

which are disagreed upon was requested by Amtrak but has thus far not been received for incorporation 

into the monthly joint letter prescribed by the Final Rule.

SCRRA has advised that they will reply to Amtrak regarding certification once they have completed their 

review which is currently focused on schedule changes that will go into effect in October. Amtrak and 

SCRRA hope to come to an agreement on the certification of all schedules by no later than September 30, 

2021. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the information provided in this transmittal.

Exhibit A

Amtrak’s position regarding the disagreed upon components of the train schedules.

The Final Rule defines a “certified schedule” as a published train schedule that Amtrak and the host railroad 

jointly certify is aligned with the customer on-time performance (“OTP”) metric and standard set forth in 

the Final Rule. In order to determine whether a train schedule is aligned with the customer OTP metric, 

Amtrak developed an analytical framework to review each schedule and its alignment with the customer 

OTP metric, applying four criteria to determine whether the schedule was aligned to the customer OTP 

metric1

. 

Table 1 lists each uncertified train schedule by service and notes which dimensional criteria were met for 

each schedule that led to Amtrak’s determination that the schedule is aligned with customer OTP. Amtrak 

looks forward to continuing to work with Southern California Regional Rail Authority to certify the 

following schedules.

Sincerely,

William J. Flynn

Chief Executive Officer

Amtrak

1 The four analytic criteria applied to each schedule were: (i) If Amtrak and the host railroad previously agreed to 

modify the schedule to align with customer OTP, and no significant changes in passenger deboarding patterns 

were evident since that agreement, (ii) if a train has regularly exceeded the minimum standard 80% customer OTP, 

(iii) If a regression, measuring the relationship between the placement of recovery time in the schedule and the 

number of detraining riders at each station resulted in a strong (0.5 or more) correlation, or (iv) if the recovery 

time is placed in advance of detraining passengers to help them arrive on-time. If a train schedule met any of 

these four criteria, the schedule was determined to be aligned with the customer OTP metric. 95% of the trains 

met more than one criterion.
