  • North Atlantic Rail: Building a Just and Green Economy
    North Atlantic Rail: Building a Just and Green Economy North Atlantic Rail is a proposed high-performance rail network linking Boston with New York City and connecting all of the small and mid-sized urban centers across the 7-state New England - Downstate New York megaregion with these two global cities and with each other. High-performance rail provides fast, frequent, convenient, reliable and well-priced services for all users of the network. North Atlantic Rail will include a new 200-mph main trunk line, upgraded 120-mph regional rail lines, and upgraded 80-mph branch lines. The fundamental idea that underlies the North Atlantic Rail initiative is the creation of a new economic geography, a megaregional NETWORK that connects Boston and New York, the smaller cities of New England, Long Island and Downstate New York, and all of their suburbs, small towns and villages. Every node is amplified by connection to the larger network, and has its agglomeration advantages, its critical mass and economies of scale. This is not just a physical rail network; it is a set of rail-enabled economic relationships, for both firms and individuals, across the whole megaregional geography rather than just one of its metros, that can serve as a platform for economic transformation, for the creation of a just and green economy. The networked megaregion will make our personal networks larger and more dynamic, shaped by the churn of workers and firms across the whole economic geography. This churn of workers and firms is a primary way that work networks form. Here’s how it happens: A new work colleague will bring to a firm the relationships she had at her last firm at the other end of the megaregion.

    AMTRAK William J. Flynn 1 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20001 Chief Executive Officer Email [email protected] Tel 202-906-3963 June 28, 2021 The Honorable Peter DeFazio The Honorable Sam Graves Chairman Ranking Member Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairman DeFazio and Ranking Member Graves: I am writing to express Amtrak’s concerns about reports that the House may include in the INVEST in America Act an amendment that would create a “North Atlantic Rail Compact” (NARC) with an ostensible charge to construct an ill-defined “North Atlantic Rail Network.” Amtrak is strongly opposed to the adoption of this amendment and the likely negative consequences of such a decision for the Northeast Corridor and the national rail network. Adopting the amendment would establish – without any hearings, committee consideration, studies or opportunity for those impacted by the proposal to be heard – support for an infeasible proposal, previously rejected because of the harm it would do to the environment, by an advocacy group called North Atlantic Rail (NAR) to build a new, up to 225 mph dedicated high-speed rail line between New York City and Boston. The dedicated high-speed rail line’s route (NAR Alignment) would not follow the existing Northeast Corridor (NEC) alignment that parallels Interstate 95. Instead, it would travel beneath the East River in a new tunnel; cross dense urban sections of Queens and Long Island to Ronkonkoma; turn north to Port Jefferson; traverse the Long Island Sound in a 16-mile tunnel to Stratford, Connecticut; and after passing through New Haven and Hartford, turn east across Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island to Providence, from which it would follow the existing NEC rail corridor to Boston.

  • NORTH ATLANTIC RAIL Advancing a Passenger Rail-Based Economic Transformation for the New England - Downstate New York Region
    NORTH ATLANTIC RAIL Advancing a Passenger Rail-Based Economic Transformation for the New England - Downstate New York Region Overview: Creating the World’s Largest Innovation Network North Atlantic Rail (NAR) is a proposed 21st century high performance passenger rail network linking Boston and New York City and all of New England’s mid-sized cities. It proposes to secure federal funding for this initiative as a critical element of the $2 trillion-dollar emergency infrastructure program expected to be introduced in the Congress later in 2020. The seven-state New England - Downstate New York region is home to 11% of US population and 14% of US GDP, while by comparison this proposed $105 billion rail investment would represent only 5% of the proposed $2 trillion infrastructure package. This region already has more than two-thirds of US rail ridership and a strong rail culture—both of which will be further expanded by this investment program. This program includes an early action network of priority rail investments identified by each state. Collectively, these investments will create a network providing transformational mobility, economic development and climate resilience benefits for the entire seven-state region. Planning and preliminary engineering has been conducted on most of these projects, allowing them to be expedited through creation of a proposed new federal-state partnership—North Atlantic Rail, Inc. Major portions of this network could be designed and built on an expedited schedule, putting hundreds of thousands to work during and following the Covid-19 pandemic recession. This network will also decongest highways, promote sustainable mobility, reduce carbon production and economic inequality and underpin the competitiveness of the entire seven-state region for decades to come.

  • NORTH ATLANTIC RAIL Executive Summary: Advancing a Passenger Rail-Based Economic Transformation for the New England - Downstate New York Region
    NORTH ATLANTIC RAIL Executive Summary: Advancing a Passenger Rail-Based Economic Transformation for the New England - Downstate New York Region . The Challenge: to recover from the Covid-19-induced recession, while laying the foundation for long-term economic transformation — building on the multi-state collaboration already initiated by New York - New England governors to reopen the economy in the aftermath of the pandemic The Concept: a rail-enabled economic transformation strategy that creates one integrated market for ideas, capital and talent across the economic geography encompassing New York City, Boston and all of the smaller cities of New England Key Elements: 1. Early execution of shovel ready rail projects that are the top priority of each state, and which are each an essential element of a regional high-performance rail network ($35 billion) 2. A high-speed trunk line connecting the individual projects into a network and enabling 100-minute service between NYC and Boston ($70 billion) 3. Establish North Atlantic Rail, Inc., a federal-state partnership to fund and implement the program working with existing stakeholders but requiring new procurement methods and P3 ventures to accelerate investments Where We Stand: top priority state projects identified, some engineering work completed, preliminary ROW for the high-speed trunk line identified, leadership mobilized What We Need: a total of $105 billion to design and build both the top priority state projects and the trunk line; and a new federal-state partnership, North Atlantic Rail, Inc. (NARI), to expedite execution. This would represent 5% of a $2 trillion infrastructure program for a region that contains 11% of the nation’s population, 14% of its economy and an even larger share of its tax base, and more than 2/3 of US rail ridership.
