REPORT BY THE U. S.



General Accounting Office







Proposed Amtrak Rail Service

Between Philadelphia And Atlantic City



The Rail Safety and Service Improvement Act of 1982 authorized
federal assistance for the proposed Philadelphia-Atlantic City rail
service project. GAO was asked to review the adequacy of the
project's nonfederal funding, the need for and the adequacy of an
environmental impact statement, and Amtrak's projection of the
revenue to be obtained from operating the rail service.
The project has not progressed as rapidly as anticipated in the 1982
Act. To date, the project is still in the planning and development
stage and its future progress is uncertain. GAO found that

  --the Secretary has not received the formal written agreements
    between New Jersey, the Atlantic City Improvement Authority,
    and Amtrak that are needed to determine the adequacy of the
    proposed nonfederal funding,
  --the Department of Transportation is preparing an environ-
    mental assessment but this has not been completed, and

  --Amtrak made a reasonable effort in estimating revenue;
    however, some of the data used in its estimate were of
    uncertain accuracy.
