This is a study to design and determine the costs of upgrading and modernizing the Nation's rail transit facilities. The design includes a discussion of the modernization/rehabilitation issues, the development of a rail system evaluation methodology, a detailed study plan to establish the modernization/rehabilitation requirements for all of the rail transit facilities, and the study cost and period of performance schedules. Basic terms were defined and program goals established. A quantitative decision-making method for rail modernization projects is described and includes the determination and definition of the system elements to be evaluated; the measures of effectiveness (MOEs) and measure of effectiveness standards; and performance indicators that provide estimates of the benefits to be derived from proposed improvements.
