SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Amtrak Investment Act of 1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) intercity rail passenger service is an essential 
        component of the integrated national transportation system; 
        however, to achieve its full potential the National Railroad 
        Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) must provide a quality 
        transportation product in the form of clean, comfortable, and 
        on-time service;
            (2) Amtrak's management and employees are dedicated to 
        providing the high quality service that Amtrak's customers 
        deserve; however, additional capital investment is needed to 
        acquire the modern equipment and efficient facilities that are 
        essential to satisfy the demand for superior intercity rail 
        passenger service;
            (3) significant levels of Federal capital investment will 
        enable Amtrak to provide the world class service American rail 
        passengers deserve, and will reduce operating costs in the long 
        term;
            (4) Amtrak's management should be held accountable to 
        ensure that all capital investment by the Federal Government is 
        effectively used to improve the quality of service and the 
        long-term financial health of Amtrak;
            (5) the Secretary of Transportation, as an ex officio 
        member of Amtrak's board of directors, should use this position 
        to evaluate Amtrak's costs and revenue elements to ensure that 
        Amtrak provides excellent service to its customers and that 
        Amtrak uses its Federal investment wisely and efficiently;
            (6) States can play a significant role in providing cost-
        efficient intercity rail passenger transportation and in 
        addressing local transportation needs and air quality control; 
        and
            (7) the freight railroads represent a critical part of the 
        Nation's transportation infrastructure, which should help to 
        provide expeditious and cost-effective delivery of passenger 
        trains.

        of the projects proposed for funding under this part and a

        previously funded under this part, or legislation on which this 
        part is based, beginning with funds provided in fiscal year 
        1994.
Such report shall include an identification of improvements in the 
quality of service offered by Amtrak, facility improvements that 
demonstrate a productivity gain, equipment improvements that lower 
operating costs, environmental benefits (including air quality and land 
use), enhancements to local transportation needs, enhancements to 
mobility of physically and economically disadvantaged persons, an 
improvement to the revenue-to-cost ratio, reduced dependence on Federal 
operating support, and reductions in the need for alternative 
transportation investments. To the extent practicable, the benefits 
addressed in each report shall also be expressed as return on invested
