New Departures: Rethinking Rail Passenger Policy in the Twenty-First Century
Author: Anthony Perl
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky; ISBN: 0813122112

New Departures is not only the most comprehensive look at rail passenger service in North America, it is the most timely. With air travel suddenly becoming a mature industry after September 11th, the nation is realizing that it is missing a vital balance in passenger transportation, a balance that could be provided by high speed passenger rail service. Perl?s book lays out the best policy framework I have ever seen for making rail passenger investments. Anyone engaged in debating the role of high speed rail in North America should read this book. ?Thomas Downs, Executive Director, Center for Smart Growth
