Accession Number: 00932137
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This brief article provides an introduction to issue number 222 of TR News. The author, Chair of the TRB Committee on Intercity Rail Passenger Systems, observes that, with Amtrak struggling to achieve self-sufficiency after more than 30 years of operation and federal support, U.S. passenger rail service has arrived at a critical juncture. Yet the success and rapid progress of regional initiatives, along with new strategies to connect with other modes and to share freight track, new proposals to restructure, and the application of lessons from abroad--all presented in this issue of TR News--are laying the tracks for passenger rail to survive and thrive in the United States.
