Rail: VTPI's Rail Transit In America: Comprehensive Evaluation of Benefits -- Full Report [pdf]
This report evaluates rail transit benefits based on a comprehensive analysis of transportation system performance in major American cities. It finds that cities with large, well-established rail systems perform significantly better than otherwise comparable cities with less or no rail transit service. This indicates that rail transit systems provide economic, social and environmental benefits.
Rail: VTPI's Evaluating Rail Transit Criticism [pdf]
This report evaluates criticism of rail transit. It examines claims that rail transit is ineffective at improving transportation system performance, and that rail transit investments are not cost effective. It finds that critics often misrepresent issues and use biased and inaccurate analysis.
