[quote user="Prairietype"] My questions aren't a criticism of your points, but rather are meant to be leading....1. How can we create and invest in a viable passenger rail strategy when Amtrak is handcuffed by public policy and funding? 2. How can one convince people to support such an strategy beyond just talking about it?3. How do you "win" the public's support for such investments? [/quote]Actually, its not the public that needs convincing. Polls consistently show public support for Amtrak funding in the 60-70% range, and a Harris poll last year respondents chose passenger trains, both regional and long distance, as the top two choices for expanding transportation capacity. Clearly, the public is way ahead of the politicians. So I would ask, how do we get the politicians to pay attention?
