These trends result in a more congested transportation system and land development practices that sometimes strain the existing transportation system. PENNDOT, its regional planning partners, and federal modal agencies realize that the level of investment required to build our way out of congestion is unachievable. Recognizing this challenge, and the need for a balanced transportation system, PENNDOT issued PennPlan in January 2000 as Pennsylvania’s Statewide Long-Range Transportation Plan. PennPlan sets forth a bold new direction over a 25-year time horizon. It responds to PENNDOT’s customers, who stressed the need for greater personal mobility, more transportation options, and an environmentally sustainable transportation system. PennPlan identified the need for this TAC passenger rail study with the objective of completing it by 2002. Several of the PennPlan statewide corridors are currently served by, or have some potential to be served by intercity passenger rail. 1.2 STUDY PURPOSE The Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) chose to broadly assess the need for statewide intercity passenger rail service in key transportation corridors pursuant to PennPlan Objective #20. PennPlan contains ten broad goals that relate to various key themes, public input, and 29 specific objectives. One objective (#20) is to “Develop a statewide, passenger-rail needs assessment.” That objective relates to several of the ten PennPlan goals, including: 1. Retain jobs and expand economic opportunities 2. Make transportation decisions that support land use planning objectives 3. Maintain, upgrade, and improve the transportation system. These goals in turn relate
