Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This review includes the following new starts and extensions: the Sounder service between Tacoma and Seattle, Washington; the South Florida Tri-County Commuter Rail; Metra, Chicago's Future Agenda for Suburban Transportation (FAST); Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation (NICT); the Minneapolis Hiawatha light rail project; San Francisco and Silicon Valley; Los Angeles and San Diego; Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, Canada. A general overview of the United States shows that there is hardly a major city that has not seen proposals for commuter rail service.
