AASHTO Intercity Passenger Rail Transportation
One of the priority items in the 2002 Action Agenda of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials is a call for “legislation ensuring that the nation’s travelers will have efficient and dependable intercity passenger rail service.” AASHTO believes that intercity passenger rail service is a basic element of the nation’s multimodal transportation system, relieving highway and airport congestion in a safe,
environmentally responsible way.
AASHTO recommends that such legislation do the following:
- Establish a solid basis for passenger rail service partnerships between the states and the federal government
- Ensure the level of federal involvement necessary for financing and sys tem integrity
- Provide a stable system for funding rail passenger operating costs, and
- Create a dedicated, sustainable source of funding for intercity rail passenger infrastructure improvements
