Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The nation¿s seven largest rail transit agencies deliver over three billion passenger trips each year, relying on over 6,000 miles of track, 1,700 passenger stations and 15,000 rail vehicles to do so. These services, and the infrastructure and rolling stock that support them, are critical to the transportation needs and quality of life of the communities they serve. But, this infrastructure is aging and the level of reinvestment is insufficient to address a growing backlog of deferred investment needs. This study assesses the level of capital investment required to maintain a state of good repair for the nation¿s seven largest rail transit operators. The study also considers past levels of Fed. funding support as well as potential changes to the current Fed. program.

Download or read book National State of Good Repair Assessment written by Barry Leonard and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assesses the level of investment required to bring all of our nation¿s public transportation (transit) systems into a state of good repair. While the seven agencies included in the 2009 Rail Modernization Study are responsible for a majority of the nation¿s transit assets, the Study¿s findings emphasize the need for a more comprehensive understanding of transit reinvestment needs. This 2010 National State of Good Repair Assessment evaluates the level of investment required to bring all U.S. transit assets to a state of good repair. The current national SGR backlog is about $77.7 billion. An annual average of $14.4 billion in normal replacement expenditures would be required to keep that backlog from getting larger.
