Concern about the magnitude of investment required to restore and maintain rail systems in a state of good repair generated the UMTA-sponsored Rail Modernization Planning Study. The study's purpose was to provide technical guidance to rail transit planners to help assure that funding for rail modernization is utilized in the most effective manner. Case studies of rail systems, planning organizational relationships, and planning processes and techniques were conducted for the most significant rail agencies in New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston, and Cleveland. The report is a detailed review of the current planning processes and techniques being utilized by a large cross section of the nation's rail transit systems.
