Trump's budget slashes Amtrak funding, phases out long-distance routes |

Posted by https://salaamallah.com/ on Thu Feb 13 15:39:00 2020 Trump's budget slashes Amtrak funding, phases out long-distance routes President Donald Trump's administration yesterday unveiled a proposed fiscal-year 2021 budget that calls for cutting Amtrak funding by more than 50 percent compared with 2020 levels. The White House budget would cut funding to the Northeast Corridor from $700 million to $325 million, as well as cut funding for long-distance train routes from $1.3 billion to $611 million. After that, the White House would phase out support for Amtrak's long-distance trains, Reuters reported. The budget also would provide $13.2 billion for public transportation, a $303 million increase from the FY2020 enacted level, according to the American Public Transportation Association (APTA). However, the budget would cut passenger-rail grant programs by $712 million for a total of $1.8 billion. Trump's budgets have called for similar cuts in the past, but have been rejected. Democrats are not likely to go along with this latest proposal. Meanwhile, the Trump budget also proposed a 10-year, $810 billion plan for surface transportation reauthorization to replace the FAST Act, which expires Sept. 30. The amount is $75 billion above current law levels, according to APTA. That proposal includes $155.4 billion for public transit over the 10 years. The administration stated that it would submit a comprehensive surface transportation reauthorization proposal in the coming months, APTA officials said in a legislative update. RAIL ROAD NEWS |

Had the GOP not rammed through the tax giveaway which is now accelerating the deficit, there would be plenty of federal revenue available to upgrade/improve transit, intercity rail etc. We allknow that the Hudson and Baltimore tunnels are in dire need of replacement/general overhaul. And let us not forget the massive waste at the five sided money pit in northern VA. Half a dozen of the totally unnecessary F35s would pay for both the Hudsonand Baltimore tunnels. Money pi$$ed away on more nukes (we still have enough to obliterate all mankind 3-4 times) would easily pay for a couple of useful HSR projects--LA--LV, Milw--Stl, CLE-PGH as examples.This budget is like a family, having given away all of their savings/IRAs etc, now wants 3 new yachts, two ski resort condo's while the actual house needs a new roof, upgraded electrical, HVAC, not to mention weatherizing and solar. |

Any President's budget, D or R is DOA, regardless of whether Congress is D or R.Amtrak has very good support on both sides of the aisle. Best evidence of that is the Senate's effort to save the Southwest Chief from Anderson's and Gardner's claws. |

No, that is not correct. Think back to Senator Trent Lott, an unreconstructed segregationist, but a supporter of Amtrak service for his Mississippi constituents. There have been others. |

Wrong again, Fool.Senator Roger Wicker of MS is an Amtrak supporter. Sandy Stimpson, the Republican mayor of Mobile, AL, is an Amtrak supporter. Recently retired Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant is an Amtrak supporter. Former Sen. Trent Lott of MS was and current Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of TX is a supporter of Amtrak. Sens. Jerry Moran of KS, Cory Gardner of CO, and Pat Roberts of KS are all Amtrak supporters. Last year they helped get funding to continue service on the Southwest Chief. So not all Republicans want to kill Amtrak, you idiot. Now how about shutting your pie hole since you're never correct? |

OK, but if it's profitable on paper, why would they be given taxpayer funding for the "profitable" route? Seems like it would be hard to justify. |

NY Rep Elise Stefanik and former rep Chris Gibson are also Amtrak supporters. They pushed back on Anderson's rule change that resulted in the Toys for Tots train being cancelled. Stefanik has also been championing the efforts to get preclearance in Montreal because the Adirondack is the primary train through her district, and got a Golden Spike from NARP for her efforts. |

If they're at the border, they can move over into huge work pool needed at the main highway crossing for the rest of their day. I suppose they could go over to the airport, but it would be very inefficient. |

And it would cost them a lot of money to agree. Where that money comes from is likely to be Amtrak's problem, despite any push that Stefanik makes. |

There's an airport with preclearance less than a 30 minute drive away from the station. Hell these guys will probably love being able to lunch downtown with travel time on the clock compared to airport food all day.Albany Airport had a similar problem: back in the day there was one international flight. Customs guys who normally handle the port of Albany would drive 15 minutes to the airport, meet the plane, handle the seven passengers (it was an Air Canada Cessna), then go back to the port. |

The pre-clearance facility in Montreal Central will be modeled after what goes on now in Vancouver Pacific Central (nee-CN) station. The facility will be constructed by Track 23, where all inbound Adirondack and eventually Vermonter trains will arrive and depart.This is not something Stefanink woke up one day and had a revelation over. This issue has been on-going for many years before she was elected. |
