| 摘要： | This report presents practical models of multi-state institutional arrangements for developing and providing intercity passenger rail networks and services. Such models are needed given the thrust of the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA) to provide more flexibility in developing and supporting intercity passenger rail operations in the U.S. A conceptual framework of the intercity passenger rail visioning, planning, project development and operations process is used to describe key characteristics of the process. Case studies of both intercity passenger rail initiatives and of nontransportation, multi-agency programs were used to identify the key factors of multi-participant efforts that made them successful. Eight models of possible institutional relationships were identified including, Coordinated State Efforts, Coalition/ Partnership, Single State Agency contracting w/ or on behalf of Other States, Public-Private Partnership, Multi-State Commission, Multi-State Special Authority, Federal-State Commission and Freight Railroad Lead Responsibility. The advantages and disadvantages of each model are described along with the defining characteristics of each. A practitioners’ guide is offered as a way to determine which model is more appropriate given the issues being faced by those interested in establishing an intercity passenger rail service. The guide consists of three parts: decision trees allowing practitioners to determine the key variables of interest and which then leads to suggested institutional structures, a template of questions relating to important elements of the conceptual framework, and a section on lessons learned for implementing intercity passenger rail initiatives. The report then identifies areas of future research. The report concludes that with increasing interest in providing intercity passenger rail service there are several institutional models that can serve as the basis of doing so, and that which model is best suited to a particular situation depends on the most critical issues facing those leading the program. |
