The Government of Turkey has embarked upon a program to improve its railway system with support from multilateral and bilateral assistance. Since U.S. railroads are privately-owned and operate in an extremely tough competitive environment, U.S. railway products offer the best combination of price, reliability, and durability in the world market. It is recommended that the U.S. Trade and Development Program (TDP) provide a grant to cover the cost of a four-part Feasibility Study on the Commercialization of Turkish State Railways (TCDD). In the alternative, should TDP conclude that it could not justify such a study when evaluated against competing priorities for TDP support, it is recommended that, at a minimum, TDP should finance a two-week technology orientation visit for up to five top TCDD decision-makers involved in the procurement of goods and services for TCDD.
