Wabash Tunnel

==Background==
* Cost $1-million a year to clean it.
* Cost $21-million to re-open it.
* Only 400 cars use the tunnel each day.
* It might be closed in 2006???
* PAT could save money by taking over the maintenance of the Wabash Tunnel. Maintenance is currently (March 2007) being outsourced.

==History==
==Insights==
* Annual costs were reported to be $1-million. Now the costs are down to about $600,000 per year.
* If PAT should transfer the ownership of the Wabash Tunnel to PennDot, a bill of $20-million would be due to pay back the feds. PAT can't get federal money and break its promise and not honor its promises.
