is environmentally responsive and user
financed with a strong federal partnership,
said Frank Busalacchi, Secretary of
Wisconsin DOT. The vision through 2050
builds on a network that is frequent and
reliable with 80 percent of the funding
coming from the federal government.
Status of Amtrak: Expanding intercity
rail corridors will boost ridership to
50 percent by 2020, said Anne Witt,
vice president of Amtrak. As Congress
considers the reauthorization of Amtrak,
the key tasks are stakeholder leadership,
standardized equipment, corridor
network and service quality. The future
is a network of corridors and support of
federal funds, state support, requiring
station improvements, procuring rolling
stock and using standardized equipment.
The ‘perfect storm’ of corridor growth
is occuring with airline fees and traffic
congestion pushing people to consider rail
travel. The future approach should be to
define the corridor system using tiers of
investment.
Successful State Models:
California and North Carolina
In California, 80 percent of the state
population base is covered by rail and bus
network with three of Amtrak’s six busiest
routes located in the state, said Gene
Skoropowski, Managing Director, California
Capitol Corridor. The state’s rail success
is owed to capital funding with $2.7
billion invested in the last 17 years. The
quantity and quality of service is enough to
generate the ridership and they have had
15 percent growth in the last year.
The challenges of expanding new service
in North Carolina included developing a
sealed corridor program, traffic and signal
improvements, private crossing safety and
investments in equipment, said Patrick
Simmons, the director of North Carolina
DOT’s Rail Division Rail Division. Not only
did they increase the speed of passenger
trains from 60 to 79 mph through rail line
improvements but they also decreased the
time between Raleigh and Charlotte to 180
minutes, which is below the competitive
time of vehicles.

Innovative strategies in alternative
financing - Florida is currently using
Design/Build, Design/Build/Finance,
Design/Build with Options and Design/
Build Max. Projects underway include I-75
near Fort Myers, I-95 Managed Lanes in
Miami, I-95 at Bonita Causeway.
Simplfying construction
administration processes -
Approximately one fourth of Florida’s
statewide contracts are lump sum
payments. These have shown a reduction
in time and cost overruns. Plan quantity
contracts allow you to pay the plan
amount unless there are significant
quantity changes, you don’t have to
measure everything. Witness & Hold
reduces contract inspection costs and
places a five-year warranty on the work.
Temporary bridging to avoid or
minimize impacts to waters and
wetlands –
An 18-month study (National Cooperative
Highway Research Program, Number 25-
30) was conducted of all 50 states. The
study report compiled the influential
factors for using temporary bridges
and types of bridges used. The data
collected was used to create a Decision
Matrix, Environmental Sensitivities Matrix
and Cost Consideration Matrix. A study
guidebook will be published soon.
Construction Cost Indexes
Using TRNSPORT software and BAMS/
DSS module you can compile your project
material costs to compute for inflation,
make inflation adjustments, compute
average annual inflation, compute cost
projections to adjust your work program
as necessary and plot cost index versus
revenues.
Performance Specifications for Rapid
Highway Renewal (R-07)
This is a five-year study by SHRP II.
The goal of SHRP II Renewal is to renew
the aging infrastructure and create an
integrated approach to contracting.
