Amtrak's Inventory and Property Controls Need Strengthening

GAO has found several weaknesses in Amtrak's inventory and property controls. Amtrak's investment in inventory and property is substantial. The property, including rolling stock, tracks, land, stations, maintenance facilities, office buildings and other items such as furniture and equipment, has been valued at $1.2 billion. The inventory, valued at $92 million, consists primarily of spare parts needed for repair and maintenance operations.
