The Surface Transportation Board
(STB) is publishing the annual inflationadjusted index factors for 2015. These
factors are used by the railroads to
adjust their gross annual operating
revenues for classification purposes.
This indexing methodology ensures that
railroads are classified based on real
business expansion and not from the
effects of inflation. Classification is
important because it determines the
extent to which individual railroads
must comply with STB reporting
requirements.
The STB’s annual inflation-adjusted
factors are based on the annual average
Railroad’s Freight Price Index which is
developed by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS). The STB’s deflator
factor is used to deflate revenues for
comparison with established revenue
thresholds.
The base year for railroads is 1991.
The inflation index factors are presented
as follows:
