摘要：	This paper reports on changes and additions to light rail transit (LRT) and streetcar systems in the United States and Canada that have occurred since the last National Light Rail Conference was held in 2009. There were two completely new start-ups during this period: light diesel multiple-unit (DMU) lines in Austin (2010) and Denton County, Texas (2011), and an electric light rail line in Norfolk (2011). In addition, several systems extended existing lines: Dallas, Edmonton, Jersey City (Bayonne), Los Angeles, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Portland (streetcar), Salt Lake City, Sacramento, and San Francisco. Beyond 2012, further LRT and streetcar extensions have been committed and will be completed in Calgary, Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, Edmonton, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Ottawa (light DMU), Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Seattle, and Tucson. New streetcar lines are under construction in Atlanta, Cincinnati, and Washington, D.C. These developments are discussed in the text and reflected in the accompanying data tables.
