Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) Amtrak should be funded at a level that will enable it to continue to operate a national railway system, to acquire new passenger equipment and modernize its maintenance facilities, and to improve its financial performance and service levels; and (2) the Secretary of Transportation and the Administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration should work with Amtrak management to lower Amtrak's dependence on public funding, to assign the highest priority possible to safety, and to ensure the adequacy of the national rail passenger infrastructure as a key element in a balanced national transportation system.
