Rail Solution

RAIL Solution opposes most of Governor McDonnell's transportation bill, especially the abolition of the gas tax, as it shifts the funding burden disproportionately by replacing the lost revenue with a general sales tax increase on most purchases.

Not only the Greeks are facing bankruptcy; Ken Marsh, a Rail Solution Board Member and transportation professional, says the Highway Trust Fund is in similar straits.

Prospects for the Steel Interstate Prototype railroad system proposed by Rail Solution could receive a boost from the transportation bill passed last week by the U.S. Senate. The bill may be taken up by the House of Representatives very soon.
