To prohibit the use of Federal funds for the subsidization of Amtrak sleeper class service, and for other purposes.

H.R. 5801 is a legislative proposal that would require Amtrak to price its sleeper class tickets at a level that covers the full operating costs of the service. Under this bill, Amtrak would be prohibited from using federal funds to subsidize sleeper car travel, and any long-distance route where sleeper service costs exceed revenues would be discontinued after one fiscal year. For passengers, this would likely result in significantly higher ticket prices for private cabins or the elimination of sleeper accommodations on certain long-distance train routes.
