Passenger rail is going through a
“Renaissance” period caused by the rising
cost of gas, traffic congestion and commuter
fatigue. More people are choosing transit
with double digit increases in ridership.
Vision for the Future: A national panel
recommends a multimodal system which
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.
