FY 2025 Ridership Expansion and Fiscal Recovery

[NYP]

No- riders that travel any miles on a state-supported route are assigned to the state-supported route, not the NEC. A rider from New York to Lancaster would be counted as a Keystone rider.

This is correct. But if I understand properly, the same Keystone train carried a passenger NYP-PHL, it gets counted as an NER. If a passenger boards a regional in Charlottesville and gets off at WAS, it counts as the Roanoke service line. If he boards at Charlottesville bound for New York, it credits credited to the Roanoke service line. If he boards at Washington, however, he gets counted as an NER. That seems to be the only way the numbers make sense historically. Otherwise we would see dips in the NER every time a train gets extended into VA, which is not the case.

The Vermonter has a rather complicated one. If you are on the Vermonter you may be assigned to 3 different routes depending on your northern terminus. If the northern terminus of your trip is New Haven or somewhere south of that on the NEC it’s a Northeast Regional trip, if the northern terminus is between Meriden and Springfield it’s a New Haven - Springfield line trip, if the northern terminus is north of Springfield it is a Vermonter trip.
