ANNUAL REPORT 2020 New Moynihan Train Station for all Amtrak trains in New York City including all NEC trains SPRC Membership and Mission The States for Passenger Rail Coalition, Inc. (SPRC) is an alliance of State and Regional Transportation Officials and Passenger Rail Authorities from across the United States. The Coalition Member agencies include: California New York Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) North Carolina Connecticut Northern New England Passenger Rail Illinois Authority (NNEPRA) Indiana Oregon Iowa Pennsylvania Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority (SJJPA) Rail Corridor Agency (LOSSAN) Southwest Chief & Front Range Louisiana Passenger Rail Commission (Colorado) Maine Vermont Massachusetts Virginia Michigan Washington Minnesota Wisconsin Missouri The Coalition Members extend our condolences and deepest sympathies to all those so adversely affected by the global pandemic, especially those who have lost loved ones. Also, we express our sincerest gratitude to nothing less than the heroic efforts of essential workers and those on the front lines of battling the pandemic. SPRC’s Mission is to promote the development, implementation, and expansion of Intercity Passenger Rail as part of an integrated national transportation network. It accomplishes this by working together with a non-partisan approach to:: • Promote research, planning, development, implementation, operation, sustainability, and expansion of publicly supported intercity passenger rail service throughout the United States, • Facilitate coordination and cooperation among state officials and between the public and private sector at all levels (federal, state and local), • Advocate and assist in the pursuit of state and federal funding to support on-going development of America’s passenger rail system, and • Support current efforts and projects managed by state transportation departments. The Coalition offers a centralized forum to interact with decision-makers, stakeholders, and advocacy groups to share information and provide direction in support of intercity passenger rail. Also, the Coalition serves as the sole “states-only” passenger rail organization whose involvement includes Amtrak’s state-supported routes, the Northeast Corridor, and the national long-distance network. s4prc.org Cover Photo, Bottom, by Jim Henderson CC BY 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=98382239 SPRC and Passenger Rail in the United States th Anniversary 2020 freight railroads while moving passengers on a network of While the year 2020 marks the 20th regional intercity, and, long-distance intercity trains, as anniversary of the States for Passenger Rail well as on commuter rail lines.

It always has. The SPRC Member States and Rail Authorities are a vital part of Amtrak’s three main business lines: 1) the Long Distance trains that provide intercity passenger rail transportation An efficient and safe transportation network plays on 15 routes of more than 750 miles between endpoints; 2) an essential role in responding to both crises. On the the State Supported trains that offer intercity passenger rail health side, a robust transportation system ensures that service along shorter-distance corridor routes of not more communities can access vitally needed goods and services, than 750 miles between endpoints; and, 3) the Northeast as well as providing safe mobility for essential workers.

The rail system moves goods by commercial 1 States/Regional Rail Authorities Stand Ready to make Intercity Passenger Rail Projects a Reality The Coalition’s member agencies are well-positioned to advance the development, implementation, and expansion of Intercity Passenger Rail as part of an integrated national transportation network. To that end, significant planning is taking place in the states and passenger rail authorities. All SPRC Members were surveyed to provide details on prospective intercity passenger rail projects that are either ready for construction, or either at, or near the final design stage. The Members also provided information on those projects in the initial (scoping phase) stages of the project development. Coalition Members have identified 135 projects with a total project cost of over $34 billion that meet these criteria, with a near-even split between the number of projects ready for funding for design and construction and those in the scoping phase. Projects ready for funding for design and construction implementation represent nearly $10 billion in value, with another $24 billion in projects that could go forward in advanced planning. Additionally, in a joint effort with the American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), SPRC expanded this “projects in the pipeline” survey outreach to all States, including those not currently SPRC Members. Enhanced Safety Protocols for the traveling public and frontline staff on When SPRC’s list is added together with the non-SPRC States NNEPRA’s Amtrak Downeaster Service the total funding needs are approximately $58 billion. Our Coalition Members and our colleagues from other States and Regional Passenger Rail Authorities stand ready to take on the challenges of advancing our nation’s economic recovery. Overcoming these challenges will require significant investment in our transportation network. It is important to reflect upon what such an investment in rail would mean for the nation. Completing the SPRC projects would result in at least and reliability improvements. These improvements would be 75 additional daily round trips, and more than 30 new significant, not only for passenger rail, but also for freight cities being served by passenger rail.

SPRC members have worked together to develop principles that should be considered during the development of the next federal surface transportation authorization bill. The SPRC Principles are as follows: • Amtrak Board members charge must include with the requirement that such funding results in some consideration of all service lines, including the interests guaranteed level of public access (e.g., railroad slots) of State-Supported and Long-Distance Routes.
