  • Amtrak: Overview
    Amtrak: Overview David Randall Peterman Analyst in Transportation Policy September 28, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44973 Amtrak: Overview Summary Amtrak is the nation’s primary provider of intercity passenger rail service. It was created by Congress in 1970 to preserve some level of intercity passenger rail service while enabling private rail companies to exit the money-losing passenger rail business. It is a quasi-governmental entity, a corporation whose stock is almost entirely owned by the federal government. It runs a deficit each year, and relies on congressional appropriations to continue operations. Amtrak was last authorized in the Passenger Rail Reform and Investment Act of 2015 (Title XI of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST Act; P.L. 114-94). That authorization expires at the end of FY2020. Amtrak’s annual appropriations do not rely on separate authorization legislation, but authorization legislation does allow Congress to set multiyear Amtrak funding goals and federal intercity passenger rail policies. Since Amtrak’s inception, Congress has been divided on the question of whether it should even exist. Amtrak is regularly criticized for failing to cover its costs. The need for federal financial support is often cited as evidence that passenger rail service is not financially viable, or that Amtrak should yield to private companies that would find ways to provide rail service profitably. Yet it is not clear that a private company could perform the same range of activities better than Amtrak does. Indeed, Amtrak was created because private-sector railroad companies in the United States lost money for decades operating intercity passenger rail service and wished to be relieved of the obligation to do so.

  • Analysis of Bus Passenger Comfort Perception Based on Passenger Load Factor and In‑Vehicle Time
    Shen et al. SpringerPlus (2016) 5:62 DOI 10.1186/s40064-016-1694-7 RESEARCH Open Access Analysis of bus passenger comfort perception based on passenger load factor and in‑vehicle time Xianghao Shen*, Shumin Feng, Zhenning Li and Baoyu Hu *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract School of Transportation Although bus comfort is a crucial indicator of service quality, existing studies tend to Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute focus on passenger load and ignore in-vehicle time, which can also affect passengers’ of Technology, No. comfort perception. Therefore, by conducting surveys, this study examines passengers’ 73 Huanghe Road, comfort perception while accounting for both factors. Then, using the survey data, Harbin 150090, Heilongjiang, People’s Republic of China it performs a two-way analysis of variance and shows that both in-vehicle time and passenger load significantly affect passenger comfort. Then, a bus comfort model is proposed to evaluate comfort level, followed by a sensitivity analysis. The method introduced in this study has theoretical implications for bus operators attempting to improve bus service quality. Keywords: Public transport, Comfort perception, Passenger load factor, In-vehicle time Background Passenger comfort is an important index that can be used to measure the quality of pub- lic transport services and a crucial factor in residents’ choice of traffic mode (Dell’Olio et al. 2011; Eboli and Mazzula 2011). For example, the quality of life in China has been increasing over the years, which in turn has led to the demand for higher levels of trip comfort. Presently, traffic congestion has become ubiquitous in China’s metropolitan areas.

  • Information Item
    Information Item Date: October 25, 2016 To: Mayor and City Council From: Edward F. King, Director of Transit Services Subject: Fiscal Year 2015-16 Big Blue Bus Year End Performance Report Introduction Fiscal Year 2015-16 was marked by momentous adaptation of our service to meet the needs of a changing transportation marketplace within the City of Santa Monica and throughout the Big Blue Bus (BBB) service area. The most visible change in the public transportation landscape was, of course, the extension of the Expo Line to downtown Santa Monica, which has had a direct and very visible impact on mobility patterns in the City and regionally. In addition, growth in active transportation, introduction of bike share, first and last mile focus, the growth and acceptance of Uber and Lyft, advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, and other disruptive forces all contributed to dynamic shifts in how people think about their mobility needs here in Santa Monica and throughout the region. The following summary and attached report provide details on Big Blue Bus (BBB) service performance for FY2015-16 within the framework of a rapidly changing physical and cultural environment. Background In September 2013, City Council approved the Big Blue Bus service evaluation guidelines, titled “Big Blue Bus Service, Design, Performance and Evaluation Guidelines” that provided detailed recommendations for bus route and service performance metrics, a reporting calendar, and standardized methods for evaluating bus service and bus service proposals to ensure that all services are evaluated regularly for efficiency, cost effectiveness, and overall viability. Pursuant to the September 24, 2013 staff report and 1 subsequent action by Council, the following summarizes the performance for all BBB routes during Fiscal Year 2015-16.
