CA Corridors Stats for September November 2nd, 2009
Reported by Eugene K. Skoropowski, Managing Director, Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority
September ridership numbers on the Capitol Corridor, in California and across the nation continue to be less than 2008, but still substantially higher than 2007. This is an indication that many of the 2008 ridership surges were refugees from high gas prices, and that most of them returned to driving when gas prices declined. The good news in this story is that not only did we retain our base riders, with some modest growth, but also kept some of the gas-price refugees. Hence the FY 2009 ridership is well above 2007 levels, by a substantial margin of +10.4%.

I apologize for the ‘combined July and August reports’. Future reports should return to their usual month-by-month issuance.
Ridership numbers in California and across the nation continue to be lower
than a year ago (2008).However, upon further comparison to 2007, the 2009 numbers are revealing that there is still a +10-15% growth above two years ago (2007) in Northern California.

CA Corridors March 2009 Stats April 14th, 2009
By Eugene K. Skoropowski, Managing Director, Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority
March numbers were a disappointment in virtually every place in the country. I am not certain if the placement of Easter week in April this year is part of the cause, but we will have to wait for April numbers to make that determination.

The economic slowdown, plus one less day in February 2009 than in February 2008 (a leap year), appears to have impacted the most ‘business oriented’ corridors, the Capitol Corridor and the Pacific Surfliners.
