AMTRAK: Top Management and Performance Challenges-Fiscal Year 2016 and Beyond

This report identifies the top management and performance challenges we see facing Amtrak (the company). Many other inspectors general are legislatively required to produce similar reports focusing on high-risk/impact activities and performance issues that affect programs, operations, and achievement of strategic goals. Those reports have shown that periodically identifying and reporting the challenges to management, other decision-makers, and Congress can help improve organizational performance. Although we are not legislatively required to report on management challenges, as we did in fiscal year (FY) 2014, we prepared this report with the intent of providing similar benefits.
