  • North American Commuter Rail
    A1E07: Committee on Commuter Rail Transportation Chairman: Walter E. Zullig, Jr. North American Commuter Rail WALTER E. ZULLIG, JR., Metro-North Railroad S. DAVID PHRANER, Edwards & Kelcey, Inc. This paper should be viewed as the opening of a new research agenda for the Committee on Commuter Rail Transportation and its sibling rail transit committees in TRB’s Public Transportation Section in the new millennium. The evolution of the popular rail transit mode might be expressed succinctly, but subtly, in the change of terminology from railroad “commuter” to “rail commuter.” HISTORICAL CONTEXT Commuter railroad operation once was a thriving business in the United States and Canada. Founded and operated by private railroads, the business became uneconomical when faced with rigid regulation, the need to be self-supporting, and the requirement to compete with publicly-funded transportation systems including roads. The all-time low was reached in the mid-1960s, when high-volume operations remained in only six metropolitan areas in the United States (Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore- Washington, Chicago, and San Francisco) and one in Canada (Montreal). The start of the rebound of commuter rail can be traced to the establishment of Toronto’s GO Transit in 1967. Since then, new services have been established in Northern Virginia, South Florida, Los Angeles, Dallas, San Diego, Vancouver, New Haven, and San Jose. New services are poised to begin in Seattle and elsewhere. Moreover, new routes or greatly expanded service, or both, are being provided in the traditional commuter rail cities of Boston, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Montreal.
