摘要：	The Rail Modernization Study finds that more than one-third of agencies assets are either in marginal or poor condition, indicating that these assets are near or have already exceeded their expected useful life. Assuming assets are permitted to remain in service beyond their expected useful life for a limited time (a realistic assumption based on current agency practices), there is an estimated SGR backlog of roughly $50 billion (2008 dollars) for the agencies under consideration. The study also finds that, between 1991 and 2009, although the actual dollar amount of capital funding from Federal sources to the seven agencies increased, their share of Fixed Guideway Modernization fundsto old rail cities in particularactually declined as new fixed guideway systems, such as busways and HOV lanes, entered the program. In addition, the study examined the seven agencies current utilization of asset management practices. Such practices are intended to help organizations with large infrastructure holdings to more efficiently manage their reinvestment needs.
