Rail Disasters 2005 Report nds rail transit strongly associated with reduced transit ridership
The paper recommends: Governments should be neutral regarding people's transportation choices, only insuring that people pay the full costs of their choices Transportation agencies should be led by transportation professionals, not political appointees, and funded as much as possible out of user fees such as gasoline taxes, tolls, and transit fares. Subsidies needed for purposes of social equity should be given to transportation users, not transportation bureaucracies. These policy guidelines will insure that government programs produce transportation systems that are safe and efcient, allowing the nation to continue enjoying the benets of the greatest invention in its history.
