The papers presented at the conference, along with several others submitted to and reviewed by TRB, are published in these proceedings. The report is organized into five headings: overview, policy and planning considerations, new lrt systems and lessons learned from start-ups, systems design and vehicle performance, and operations and maintenance. The consensus of the conference participants was, as conference program committee chairman R. David Minister put it, 'light rail transit is alive and well in North America.' The participants found that interest in lrt is at an all-time high and has not yet peaked, that many lessons have been learned from the successes and problems of existing systems, and that diversity of applications characterizes this mode.
