| 摘要： | The purpose of this report is to support the West Virginia Department of Transportation in its investment planning and to improve understanding of the value of an efficient passenger rail system in West Virginia. The report presents an overview of the intercity passenger rail (IPR) system, identifies challenges of existing passenger rail services, and provides suggestions and recommandations for a more efficient IPR system. In addition, this research identifies potential high-speed intercity passenger rail (HSIPR) corridors in West Virginia with a discussion of their benefits. Specifically, the report highlights both direct and indirect benefits of HSIPR that contribute to economic recovery efforts, achieve strategic transportation goals, and advance other passenger rail objectives. Key factors for a successful HSIPR network in West Virginia are discussed by addressing efficient HSR systems in other countries. Specific objectives will include the following: (1) overview of intercity passenger rail transportation in West Virginia; (2) description of HSR and national and regional HSR plans; (3) discussion of potential direct and indirect benefits of the HSR corridors; (4) lessons from foreign countries for a successful HSR system; (5) identification of potential HSIPR corridors in West Virginia; (6) documentation of potential construction, operation, and maintenance issues for West Virginia HSIPR corridors; and (7) discussion of steps for further research for a more efficient HSIRP system in West Virginia. |
