Abstract:This paper aims to build an integrative understanding of the kinds of benefits that accrue from passenger rail investment. This research investigates by conducting a (1) literature review on the return on investment for passenger rail, (2) creates/analyzes survey data from transportation professionals and (3) builds a knowledge-intensive collection of data from interviews with transportation professionals. These 3 components indicate a positive return on investment for passenger rail. Although studies and literature show varying numerical values from their findings, they do indicate a positive return on investment. This research should be used by transportation industry leaders interested in developing new and/or increased service to learn ways of creating public/private support and ways of obtaining funding for passenger rail projects that have been successful in other projects and are referenced in the insights and data the paper provides.
