  • A Reexamination of the Amtrak Route Structure

    A Reexamination of the Amtrak Route Structure

    Preliminary Report to Congress and the Public A Reexamination of the Amtrak Route Structure United States Department of Transportation May, 1978 THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 Dear Mr. Chairman: I am pleased to transmit to you a report containing the Department's preliminary recommendations for a restructured intercity rail passenger system to be operated by Amtrak. The Department's recommendations were requested by the Appropriations Corrmi ttee Conferees in the report accompanying the FY 1978 Supplemental Appropriations Act (P. L. 95-240). I have supported Amtrak since its inception and I continue to be1 ieve in the need for an intercity rail passenger system. While this report was being prepared, I considered whether Federal support of intercity rail passenger service should simply be terminated in light of the large amounts of money we are spending to serve a relatively sniall segment of the traveling public. I have rejected that option, however. There is a significant constituency for maintaining Amtrak as a transportation alternative, even among people who today do not frequently use it. The system will be more efficient and will serve people better if we restruc- ture it and improve its operations in the manner suggested in this report. Further, abandonment of the system would involve large labor protection costs and other expenses, with no subsequent benefits. Additionally, there is the need to consider Amtrak in the context of the nation's energy shortage. The passenger train, if it is operated we1 1 and if it carries a reasonable number of passengers, is energy efficient. The 1973-74 fuel crisis demonstrated that the American people will ride trains when automobile fuel is in short supply.
