Transportation Department Releases Statement on Amtrak Funding

Statement by Secretary of Transporation, Norman Y. Mineta, regarding the House of Represetatives vote on Amtrak's funding level: “The House of Representatives has chosen to retreat from the work of its Appropriations Committee which took on the difficult task of making tough decisions about how best to save Amtrak. Adoption of this type of amendment enables and encourages the wasteful spending and inefficient operations that have come to define Amtrak. Handing over more than a billion dollars with no reforms attached only gives Amtrak a blank check to continue misspending taxpayer money. The President and I will continue to work with the Congress to ensure passage of reforms designed to save Amtrak and develop financially sound intercity passenger rail in this country.”
