Budget Context
A changed rail landscape since the
Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008…
— Accidents and incidents at record lows
— Train ridership and reliability at record highs
— Historic levels of public and private investment
— Strong financial performance of freight rail & Amtrak
…but after decades of underinvestment, much work
remains to be done.
