The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is pleased to present its Rail Modernization Study, prepared in response to the FY2008 Transportation-HUD Appropriations bill conference report and further elucidated in a letter dated December 7, 2007, from Senator Richard Durbin and 11 other senators to FTA. We believe this report to be fully responsive in terms of both the requested content and schedule. The report assesses the level of capital investment required to attain and maintain a state of good repair (SGR) for the Nations seven largest rail transit operators. The study estimates the total value of the existing backlog of over-age assets at these agencies. It also considers reinvestment needs within the context of past levels of Federal funding support as well as potential changes to the current Federal program. |
