I will be taking Amtrak from Tucson to Houston in a couple of weeks. As I've been planning my trip, I've been disturbed by the latest push to reduce/eliminate some service and on-board amenities. The airlines and Interstate highway system get the benefit of millions and millions in dedicated trust fund monies. Why not Amtrak?
I have a blog which I post my thoughts and ideas to, and a couple of weeks ago, I made the case for a dedicated Amtrak trust fund which could bring $1 billion of dedicated, annual revenue outside of state-specific funding or revenue from fares.
Take a look and let me know what you think.
