RE: Docket Number FRA 04-8321
Dear Docket Clerk:
APTA has no comment at this time on procedures for fair and competitive
bidding by Amtrak and non-Amtrak operators for State-supported intercity passenger
rail routes. However, the notice raises a number of issues that are of interest
to APTA's membership and the growth of public transportation. APTA requests
the opportunity to stay involved with FRA as discussions continue as they
pertain to intercity and commuter rail services.
About APTA
APTA is a nonprofit international association of over 1,500 member organizations
including transit systems; planning, design, construction and finance firms;
product and service providers; academic institutions, and state associations
and departments of transportation. APTA members serve the public interest
by providing safe, efficient and economical transit services and products.
Over ninety percent of persons using public transportation in the United States
and Canada are served by APTA members.
