This is a list of the busiest Amtrak station in the United States ranked by their respective Amtrak ridership in fiscal year 2023 from October 2022 to September 2023. 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.
