摘要：	This report builds on Curbside Intercity Bus Industry: Research of Transportation Policy Opportunities and Challenges, a document issued in August 2013 by the Institute for Public Administration (IPA) at the University of Delaware. Outpacing air and rail transportation, the curbside intercity bus industry now represents the fastest growing mode of intercity travel in the United States. The report highlights the industrys unresolved transportation policy issues associated with its unprecedented growthparticularly within the Northeast Corridor (NEC). Follow-up on several topics of research was suggested, including the need to plan for and invest in intermodal transportation facilities that serve all methods of transportation and facilitate interconnections among all modes. This topic of research is critically important for the resiliency of the NEC, within the BosWash (Boston, Massachusetts, to Washington, D.C.) megapolitan area. New solutions are being considered to effectively manage and expand multimodal transportation systems as density increases within this transportation network. One proposed solution is reinvigorating intermodal transportation facilitiesparticularly legacy rail stationsto serve as hubs of transportation as well as centers of economic, commercial, and mixed-use activity. The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) is advancing plans to fund, finance, and deliver its vision for high-speed rail (HSR), rail station and infrastructure improvements, and systemcapacity upgrades. To accomplish these plans, Amtrak is seeking additional investment for its private rail system, which is already highly subsidized by the federal government. Incorporating multiple modes of transportationincluding curbside intercity busesinto transportation facility master plans can further leverage public and private investment/resources to better meet the needs of all transportation users.
