Development of Route Service: Next Steps
Develop conceptual service schedules
○ Schedule long-distance service (one train a day in each direction)
○ Serve those MSA pairs that have the highest volume of trips during daytime hours
(5 a.m. - 11 p.m.)
○ Support connections between existing routes and preferred routes for key markets
Conceptual service schedules will inform:
o Cost estimating (capital and operating & maintenance costs)
○ Elements of the public benefits analysis (number of new origin-destination pairs,
travel time savings on the network, jobs and earnings supported
by operations/construction)
○ Travel demand estimating
