The passenger rail company is feeling bullish this year, said Robert Puentes, head of the Eno Center for Transportation, an advocacy group. “What they have requested here is more money than Amtrak has ever received,” he said. That’s on top of billions from the infrastructure law that passed two years ago.

“The beauty and tragedy of heavy rail is that once you’ve dug the hole in the ground and put a subway line in it, it’s there for 100 years whether people are still choosing to embark and disembark in that spot, or not,” says Jeff Davis, a senior fellow at the Eno Center for Transportation in Washington who has studied the administration’s budget proposal. “So, you could see significant redesign of bus routes and patterns in a lot of these major cities.”
“Transit works best when it’s on a regional scale. People cross borders all the time,” says Robert Puentes, president and CEO of the Eno Center for Transportation, a nonprofit group that is helping CMAP research potential recommendations to the Legislature. “Coordinating all of that is a challenge for any transit agency, especially in a place with a legacy system like Chicago.”

“This is a model for concentrated future growth,” said Robert Puentes, president and CEO of the Eno Center for Transportation. “It’s less about just concentrating [homes and jobs] so that people can use transit to get to those parts of the region, [and more about] trying to concentrate more of the work and play around these activity centers.”

“Politicians pass around the phrase all the time, ‘it’s too big to fail’ because money has to come from somewhere,” Shrode said. “But no one wants to fork over the money to plug these holes in order to prevent cutting service.”
“Cutting service is a feedback loop that makes everyone worse off,” Shrode says. “Even when you cut a significant amount of service, you aren’t going to fill that gap, because the costs to maintain the system are pretty fixed. Whether you’re running 10 trains an hour or 30 trains an hour, you’re still paying a station manager for a full day. …”
February 3, 2023 – With the dust finally settled from the 2022 midterm elections and new (as well as incumbent) elected officials sworn in over the country, we finally have an idea of how the legislative process will shape up over the next couple of years. The same can be roughly said for transportation policy, thanks to voters who also cast their ballot for hundreds of measures across the country.
