Abstract:

"High-speed passenger rail is seen by many in the U.S. transportation policy and planning communities as

an ideal solution for fast, safe, and resource-efficient mobility in high-demand intercity corridors between

100 and 500 miles in total endpoint-to-endpoint length. As the nation moves forward with a significant

investment to improve its intercity passenger rail system, a number of planning and policy barriers still

exist, making it difficult to fully realize the anticipated benefits of high-speed passenger rail. Using data

from an Internet-based survey of residents in three communities in Central Texas—Waco, Temple, and

Hillsboro—this research project examined the potential impacts of new intercity passenger rail service on

small- or medium-sized communities located in the intermediate area between two larger urban areas that

form the endpoints of a federally designated intercity high-speed rail corridor. Responses from more

than 1,000 surveyed residents found that residents’ attitudes toward new intercity passenger rail service

are generally favorable and that trains could be used instead of automobiles for some intercity trips. The

project’s findings provide a foundation for later investment-grade ridership studies in the corridor and

have potential applications in planning for intercity passenger rail and transportation policy development."
