Abstract:

The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) support's President Clinton's goal of a balanced, intermodal transportation system, one which is safer, more efficient, and less polluting. This includes supporting intercity passenger rail. The USDOT has fought for Amtrak funding, upgraded the Northeast Corridor, made rail safety a national priority, and supported high-speed rail research and development. Although highway and transit programs have been the focus under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) legislation, its successor, the National Economic Crossroads Transportation Efficiency Act (NEXTEA), is giving the USDOT a chance to make its programs truly intermodal, and to give intercity rail the sustained support it deserves.
