Customers are understandably frustrated. Our region needs customer-convenient hours and passenger-friendly arrivals and departures. Our Great Lakes Region needs a capital investment plan, too, for passenger service. We need evaluation for State-supported routes. Our region needs expedited attention, methodology development, and service planning to remedy growing congestion inefficiencies that benefit no one, not the freight lines, not the passenger service, and surely not the communities they are supposed to serve--nor connectivity to inner city passenger rail service. I appreciate the efforts of Chairman Shuster and of Ranking Member DeFazio, as well as of Subcommittee Chair Denham and Ranking Member Capuano, in working together to produce this bill. The CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
