Title: POINT OF VIEW: IMPROVING U.S. PASSENGER TRAIN PERFORMANCE: THREE CHALLENGES AND TWO QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE RESOLVED
Accession Number: 00932144
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The author proposes that decision makers go back to the drawing board to devise a new passenger rail policy which harmonizes with the models for other transportation modes. The new policy would end Amtrak's institutional isolation from federal-state fiscal partnerships, repair a flawed corporate structure that inhibits competitiveness, and rebuild supporting industry, as well as define federal and state responsibilities for passenger rail and the system's relationships with the private sector.
