Issue: Long and Short Haul Rail
Background: Promoting heavy rail as a way to move both goods and passengers will continue to be a priority for NARCs multi-modal transportation program. We will also continue to work with Class I, II, and III railroads as a means to ease cross country and intercity container congestion. Utilizing our massive rail infrastructure and infusing new capital into maintenance and new track is a needed component of a national freight policy.
Legislative Recommendations:
-
NARC will continue to work with Congress on attempts to create a “Rail-21” authorization to assist in the funding of a National rail system.
-
NARC will continue to pursue legislation establishing high speed rail and Maglev corridors.
