1 100 percent of the three corridors are State supported.
2 Amtrak operates all passenger service on railroad company and public agencies’ rights-of-way. Portions of the Pacific Surfliner and Capitol Corridor routes are owned by public agencies.
3 Equipment owned by Caltrans and Amtrak assigned to each route.
4 The San Joaquin Route and Capitol Corridor share a fleet of 103 cars in Northern California, and car allocation is based upon need and maintenance. The pool is fluid, and cars can be assigned as needed on either route. The calculation of car use distribution, including cars out of service for maintenance, results with the halfcar designation.
5 A cab car in an unpowered passenger coach with an operator’s cab on it, used when trains are pushed by the locomotive. Trains on the Capitol Corridor all operate with the locomotives on the train facing west, so that all westbound trains are pulled by the locomotive and all eastbound trains are pushed by the locomotive with an operator in the cab car.

3Calendar Year 2020 started well, and ridership was trending upwards: February 2020 ridership was 8.9% higher than February 2019. In March, COVID-19 caused many to begin working from home, resulting in ridership decrease. By the end of March, ridership had dropped by more than 90%. Since then ridership has recovered some, but by the end of 2020 ridership had not recovered from the impacts of the pandemic, ranging between 76-89% below normal.
