This report identifies alternative funding and financing tools that can be used to realize passenger and freight rail project development, including capital investments, operations, and maintenance. The research produced by Project 07-01 resulted in NCRRP Report 1, a comprehensive guidebook for practitioners, and a separate report summary geared to policymakers and decisionmakers. NCRRP Report 1 provides an assessment of broad financing and funding requirements in the context of intercity passenger and freight rail systems, a detailed review of funding and financing options and associated considerations, and an in-depth assessment of implementation requirements for a broad spectrum of rail projects and services. The report summary, available separately, highlights the significant issues that underlie consideration of how to pay for rail projects and services that have an identified funding gap, including the policy considerations that must be addressed to bridge that gap.
