This is a list of the busiest Amtrak stations in the United States ranked by their respective Amtrak ridership by fiscal year. Ridership is defined as the total number of boarding and alightings at each station. [1] Ridership figures since 2015 have been provided for comparative purposes. In the fiscal year 2020, ridership was down significantly across the board due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ridership numbers are for Amtrak only—commuter rail, subway, and other modes are not included.
