In 1995 the Wisconsin Department of Transportation concluded a long-range statewide transportation planning process called TRANSLINKS 21. At its completion, TRANSLINKS 21 outlined a comprehensive transportation system to move people and goods efficiently, strengthen the economy, protect the environment, and support the quality of life within Wisconsin. This paper focuses on the multi-modal, intercity, passenger transportation analysis component of TRANSLINKS 21. The analysis addressed the following existing and future intercity modes of travel: automobile, including car/van/truck travel by highway; air, currently provided by airlines; rail, currently provided by Amtrak; intercity bus, currently provided by Greyhound and other operators; feeder bus/rail - a proposed integrated bus-rail system with coordinated schedules and through ticketing; and high speed rail - a proposed new rail mode capable of 125 mph (201 km/h) speeds over improved track. |
