We applaud the bipartisan approach taken by House Transportation and Infrastructure leadership in developing H.R 5449, the Passenger Rail Reform and Investment Act of 2014, wrote Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary and AASHTO President Michael Hancock. Forty nine percent of Amtrak ridership is on state-supported rail corridors, and this legislation seeks to ensure that states have a greater role in decisions affecting these routes. The letter also emphasized the need to provide states the eligibility to invest in capital infrastructure improvements that will improve on-time performance, increase trip frequency and reliability and provide a program of projects that will advance intercity passenger rail programs.
