RESOLUTION NO. 79-4-18-4
OPPOSING PROPOSED REDUCTION OF AMTRAK
ROUTE MILEAGE IN CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING
THE PROPOSED REDUCTION OF AMTRAK ROUTE
MILEAGE IN CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS, the Department of Transportation's Final Report
to Congress on the Amtrak Route System (January, 1979) proposes
a 43 percent cutback in Amtrak rail service; and,
WHEREAS, a portion of those cuts will be made in the
State of. California; and,
WHEREAS, the report's recommendations appear to be
discriminatory, favoring the northeast corridor at the expense of
the West, particularly in the areas of track improvements; and,
WHEREAS, the report proposes to cut rail service at a
time when fuel conservation is critical and alternative sources of
transportation should be encouraged; and,
WHEREAS, the report indicates that if rail service is cut,
revenue losses from the reduced service can be made up with higher
fares; and,
WHEREAS, the public demand for Amtrak service is beginning
to show marked increases; and,
WHEREAS, the people of San Juan Capistrano consider Amtrak
service to be beneficial to the community and would like to see it
expanded.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of San Juan
Capistano opposes the recommended cutback in rail service and instead
supports Scenario E in the U.S. Department of Transportation's
Preliminary Report because it is more cost-effective and a more
equitable approach for Californians.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 18th day of
April 1 1979 , by the following vote, to wit:
AYES: Councilman Schwartze, Thorpe, Buchheim
and Mayor Friess
