The Maryland Department of Transportation’s Maryland Transit Administration (MDOT MTA) has awarded Amtrak a new five-year contract to continue providing train operations services for the MARC Penn Line commuter trains operating between Washington, D.C., and Perryville, Md. The line is currently MARC (Maryland Area Regional Commuter) Train Service’s busiest and only electric line. The contract bidding process began a year ago.
“MDOT MTA selecting Amtrak for this contract speaks volumes about the high-quality service we have provided over many years to Maryland and MARC passengers, and the strong operating relationship we have developed with MARC during that time. Amtrak is committed to continuing to provide safe and efficient operations and excellent customer service for the tens of thousands of Penn Line riders who rely on us every day,” said Stephen Gardner, Amtrak’s Chief Commercial Officer.
