Roger Harris: 首先感谢邀请。Amtrak近年来的乘客量和收入都创下了记录。Amtrak的资本支出从2019年到今年已经从8亿美元增加到45亿美元。东北走廊的投资传统上由运营收入资助，而目前的预算变化是回归到运营收入和拨款之间的正常平衡。Amtrak将通过增加运营收入和利用国会拨款来弥补资金缺口。国家网络的列车运营也为东北走廊的资产再投资做出了贡献。Amtrak正在与政府合作，在基础设施项目上寻找共同点，并致力于高效可靠的运营。康涅狄格河大桥项目已获得政府拨款，并将继续推进。Amtrak正在努力降低Frederick Douglass Tunnel项目的总成本。Amtrak在降低项目成本方面取得了一些成功，并得到了政府的认可。Amtrak的目标是吸引人们放弃自驾，并提供可靠的服务和良好的客户沟通。Amtrak即将推出全新的Acela列车，这将提高服务的可靠性和舒适度。Amtrak正在提升其竞争力，以与航空公司竞争。Amtrak的核心使命是为美国人民提供交通服务，而不是专注于高端定制的奢侈旅行。Amtrak希望政府的投资能够惠及尽可能多的客户。
