This document reports the results of a research project entitled Army Rail and Public-Private Partnerships. As part of this project, we compared the Army's three business models for installation rail operations: government owned, government operated (GOGO); government owned, contractor operated (GOCO); and privatized. We also developed a methodology to compare the costs and risks of the business models to help the Army determine whether it could rely to a greater extent on privatized rail operations. This document describes the results of our analysis, which is based on detailed information gathered through visits to one installation of each type and data on Army rail requirements, costs, and performance at installations with deployable units. We estimated potential savings from privatization and determined possible risk factors, such as a decrease in responsiveness to short-notice deployments, loss of surge capacity, likelihood of accidents or violations of safety and environmental rules, and unexpected cost increases. |
