Andrew L. Morris May 2019 Chair: Ruth Steiner Cochair: Stanley Latimer Major: Urban and Regional Planning Intercity ground transportation provides important connections between cities in America. Public policy can have a major influence on intercity travel. The focus of my study is on intercity ground transportation for distances of 100-to 500-miles. Air travel dominates long- distance travel in America, but is not as relevant for short-to medium-distance travel. Intercity passenger rail and express coach services are examples of ground transportation useful for trips of 100-to 500-mile distances. Driving still dominates short-to medium-distance travel in America, but existing challenges with our interstate

  • Northern Turnpike Corridor
    1 NORTHERN TURNPIKE CONNECTOR 2 TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT 3 November 15, 2020 4 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW 5 Section 338.2278, F.S. created the Multi-use Corridors of Regional Economic Significance 6 (M-CORES) Program. The purpose of the program is to revitalize rural communities, encourage job 7 creation, and provide regional connectivity while leveraging technology, enhancing the quality of life 8 and public safety, and protecting the environment and natural resources. 9 The statute directs the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to advance the construction of 10 regional corridors intended to accommodate multiple modes of transportation and multiple types of 11 infrastructure in three defined study areas: 12 • Suncoast Corridor, extending from Citrus County to Jefferson County; 13 • Northern Turnpike Corridor, extending from the northern terminus of the Florida Turnpike 14 northwest to the Suncoast Parkway; and 15 • Southwest-Central Florida Corridor, extending from Collier County to Polk County. 16 The statute specifies these corridors as part of a broader program to address the complete statutory 17 purpose of M-CORES, including revitalizing rural communities and enhancing economic 18 development. The statute also provides FDOT with direction and tools to help advance other regional 19 goals related to the statutory purpose, including enhancing quality of life and protecting the 20 environment. The breadth of the program’s purpose, the scale of the identified corridors, and the 21 additional tools provided to FDOT all point to the need for a thoughtful, collaborative approach to 22 implementing the M-CORES Program, analyzing corridor needs and alternatives, and building 23 consensus around future actions among FDOT and a wide range of partners.

Shelby Chairman The Honorable Frank R. Lautenberg Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on Transportation Committee on Appropriations United States Senate The Honorable Frank R. Wolf Chairman The Honorable Martin Olav Sabo Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on Transportation and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Since it began operations in 1971, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) has never been profitable and has received about $21 billion in federal subsidies for operating and capital expenses. In December 1994, at the direction of the administration, Amtrak established the goal of eliminating its need for federal operating subsidies by 2002. However, despite efforts to control expenses and improve efficiency, Amtrak has only reduced its annual net loss from $834 million in fiscal year 1994 to $762 million in fiscal year 1997, and it projects that its net loss will grow to $845 million this fiscal year.1 Amtrak remains heavily dependent on substantial federal operating and capital subsidies. Given Amtrak’s continued dependence on federal operating subsidies, the Conference Report to the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1998 directed us to examine the financial (1) performance of Amtrak’s current routes, (2) implications for Amtrak of multiyear capital requirements and declining federal operating subsidies, and (3) effect on Amtrak of reforms contained in the Amtrak Reform and Accountability Act of 1997.

  • The Florida Rail System Plan: Investment Element
    The Florida Rail System Plan: Investment Element prepared for the Florida Department of Transportation prepared by Cambridge Systematics, Inc. With support from Planning Innovations, Inc Quandel Consultants December 2010 Florida Department of Transportation CHARLIE CRIST " STEPHANIE C. KOPELOUSOS 605 Suwannee Street GOVERNOR Tallahassee, FL 32399-0450 SECRETARY December 14, 2010 Citizens of Florida: I am pleased to submit to you the Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan. Unlike in past years, where the Florida Rail System Plan was more descriptive of the separate freight and passenger rail systems, this plan is more visionary, strategic, and policy-driven. The plan was guided by a broad base of stakeholders, including the Rail Stakeholder Advisory Committee, members of the public and private sectors, modes of transportation, economic development and environmental interests, and citizen representatives. The Committee and others worked throughout the summer and fall of 2009 to develop an inventory of Florida's rail system needs and recommend priority investments that support the strategic goals, objectives, and policies of the Florida Rail System Plan. The Florida Rail System Plan is comprised of a Policy Element and this document, the Investment Element. The Policy Element provides a broad policy framework for the investment of limited state resources in Florida's rail system. The Investment Element builds upon the framework of the Policy Element by identifying the needs of Florida's rail system, establishing priorities for the investment of state funds, and setting forth future action steps necessary to implement the plan. Florida in the year 2030 will be shaped by the actions, decisions, and policy choices made today.

This is the carefully annotated study of a good many of the important large railroads of the United States complete within their own files, these to be found within the official state of incorporation. Here will be included page references to the frequently huge number of small short-line roads that usually wound up by being “taken in” to the larger and expending Class II and I roads. Some of these files, such as the New York Central or the Pennsylvania Railroad are very big themselves. Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Washington are large because the many lumber railroads have been extensively studied out.
