Transit Investment For Fiscal Year 2005 (House Appropriations Committee)
March 19, 2004 — Mr. Chairman, the Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 Transportation, Treasury and Independent Agencies Appropriations bill provides an opportunity to advance key national goals through increased federal investment in the nation’s surface transportation infrastructure, including public transportation. A study conducted by Wirthlin Worldwide in February 2004, found that most Americans (80 percent) see quality of life benefits from increased investment in public transportation, and 76 percent of those surveyed support public funding for the expansion and improvement of public transportation. Clearly, Americans support federal policies that create good, high-paying jobs, especially U.S. jobs that cannot be exported. Investment in our national public transportation and highway systems creates jobs – 47,500 per $1 billion of federal investment. This investment does more than create jobs, it helps improve the economy by reducing congestion, promoting energy conservation, and providing transportation options to workers and tens of millions of other Americans.

Veterans Welcome as Rail Industry Hires 80,000 Employees
WASHINGTON, November 10, 2006 — The nation's four largest railroads have all made the list of "Top 50 Military-Friendly Employers" as determined by GI Jobs magazine. The railroad industry is creating 80,000 American jobs over the next six years, and is one of the few industries that don't outsource jobs or facilities overseas. Thousands of those being hired are former military personnel, including both officers and enlisted personnel. The jobs they perform cross the entire spectrum of railroading, from locomotive engineers to conductors to civil engineers to information technology to marketing. "Today, railroads are going through a hiring boom as more and more freight moves by train," said Edward R. Hamberger, president and CEO of the Association of American Railroads. “The railroad industry finds that veterans are some of the best people they can hire to handle those jobs."
