No, I propose the HSR money go to Amtrak in general, with spending on projects predicated on ridership levels, which would mean most would go to the NECCongratulations, you created a system that ensures little political support for Amtrak improvements due to its ultra-regionalization, and denies the provision of actual rail services to other corridors in the country. By your logic, during the construction of the interstate network, money should have been given only to existing roads with nothing going to areas that had no expressway networks. BTW, a sizable bit of that HSR money is going to services that are run by Amtrak like the Chicago-based, Surfliner, North Carolina, Cascade services. It also pays for the engineering projects works for what will be a critical portion of the NEC's future, a new tunnel in Baltimore. |
