A secondary purpose of the report was to inventory historic railroad structures. Over 125 different abandoned rail lines were identified, mapped using GIS technology, and assessed for their current use and condition.

  • Chapter 3-Passenger Rail
    Kentucky Statewide Rail Plan CHAPTER 3: PASSENGER RAIL This chapter highlights past and present Amtrak operations, tourist/excursion rail lines, and recent or ongoing passenger related studies. I. AMTRAK Amtrak currently serves over 500 communities in 46 states and the District of Columbia. Figure 3-1 shows Amtrak’s national system. In addition to its intercity service, Amtrak is the nation’s largest provider of contract-commuter service for state and regional authorities. Originally created in 1970 as a for-profit government corporation, it officially began service on May 1, 1971 with 184 trains serving 314 destinations. Amtrak was granted a monopoly to provide intercity rail transportation. In 1971 its monthly ridership was 1,239,402. In 2001 its monthly ridership Amtrak currently serves more than 500 had grown to approximately 1,960,000. communities across the United States. Amtrak has requested $1.2 billion dollars in federal aid for fiscal year 2003. If this is not received, service along 18 long distance routes may need to be discontinued. Research from several of the websites listed below indicate that, most likely, funding for the upcoming fiscal year will not reach the requested level, although Congress has submitted varying proposals, some fairly ambitious. With as many differing opinions as proposed actions, the future of Amtrak and rail passenger service in general is uncertain.

  • Kentucky's Cultural Heritage: Survey Report
    Kentucky’s Cultural Heritage: Survey Report INTRODUCTION The Kentucky’s Cultural Heritage survey was provided online and sent by mail to 650 cultural organizations throughout the commonwealth from October 2009 through January 2010. E-mail invitations to the online Survey Monkey version were sent to 511 organizations, and links also were posted on several websites; 170 replied, for a response rate of 33.3%. Paper versions were mailed to 139 organizations for whom e-mail addresses could not be identified; 26 replied, for a response rate of 18.7%. Overall, there were 196 replies (to both versions), for a very healthy total response rate of 30.2%. As with all surveys, especially with such a high response rate, it is hoped that the information received provides a representative reflection of the state’s collections as a whole. The survey was intended to assess the current condition of collections at each organization and, from the data gathered, pinpoint the type of training and resources that would be most helpful to improve the condition of collections preservation and care statewide. Both online and paper versions consisted of the same 25 questions, designed to take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Questions were organized into the following sections: Organizational Information: This basic data provides an overall profile of Kentucky’s cultural organizations. (Many of these questions update results from a 2001 statewide survey, although they were not designed as a direct follow-up.) Collections and Holdings: These questions define the types of collections maintained, as well as collect data on inventory and cataloguing procedures.

  • Kentucky Nonprofit Community Letter to Congress
    Kentucky Nonprofit Community Letter to Congress Letter to Kentucky’s Congressional Delegation on Behalf of Kentucky’s Nonprofits: Include Nonprofits in COVID-19 Economic Relief April 20, 2020 Senator Mitch McConnell Congressman Andy Barr Senator Rand Paul Congressman James Comer Congressman Brett Guthrie Congressman Thomas Massie Congressman Hal Rogers Congressman John Yarmuth Senators McConnell, Paul and Representatives Barr, Comer, Guthrie, Massie, Rogers, Yarmuth: On behalf of the undersigned Kentucky nonprofit organizations, thank you for all you are doing to sustain our communities through the COVID-19 pandemic. Kentucky’s nonprofit sector is the Commonwealth’s fourth largest private sector employer, employing 10% of Kentucky’s workforce and contributing $7.5 billion in annual wages. Like most other parts of our economy, Kentucky’s nonprofit sector continues to struggle in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic – organizations have experienced severe financial losses and layoffs due to COVID-19. The swift action Congress took to pass the Families First Coronavirus Act and the CARES Act will help our communities and organizations provide sick and family leave, prevent further layoffs and offset revenue lost due to COVID by including nonprofits in the emergency loan programs, extending unemployment benefits to many nonprofit employees and providing a small tax incentive for charitable giving. Nonprofits are appreciative of this relief and grateful for your leadership on behalf of the Commonwealth. During the past two weeks, Kentucky Nonprofit Network (KNN) and our partners at the national level have heard from nonprofits about several modifications to provisions in the CARES Act that would help organizations recover from the economic challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Kentucky Travel Business Leaders Sign on Letter
    The Honorable Mitch McConnell Majority Leader United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 August 14, 2020 Dear Leader McConnell, The travel and tourism industry is deeply appreciative of all you have done to support travel employees and small businesses throughout this public health and economic crisis. Unfortunately, millions of workers and small businesses are still struggling, and we cannot afford to lose more ground in the fight to keep them afloat. Though substantial segments of the travel industry were unable to access earlier rounds of relief, Congress was making significant strides toward securing protection for this hardest hit of economic sectors before negotiations ceased last week. The travel industry workers and small businesses who have suffered so much during this crisis need relief today. Relief cannot wait until the fall or until after the election. Congressional and administration negotiators must come back to the table right away to find a solution to help save and bring back the jobs of millions of Americans. It is abundantly clear that a revival of the American economy is not possible without immediate, significant, targeted relief for travel and tourism businesses and its workforce. A new report from Tourism Economics underscores the unique pain this crisis has inflicted on the industry: • 40% of excess U.S. unemployment is in the Leisure and Hospitality (L&H) sector, despite that sector accounting for 11% of all pre-pandemic employment in the U.S. • Nearly half of the 16.9 million jobs in the L&H sector were wiped out in March and April. • If every industry recovered to its pre-pandemic employment level except for L&H, the overall employment rate would fall from 10.2% to 6.2%—still 2.7% higher than pre-pandemic levels.
