Book excerpt: The Staggers Rail Act of 1980 allowed freight railroads (FR) to get rid of unprofitable lines and to consolidate their operations. It also allowed the FR to charge lower rates to their customers who operated in a competitive environment, and higher rates to customers who were captive to one FR carrier for transportation service. This review of the Class I FR's recent financial results shows that the Staggers Act's goal of restoring financial stability to the U.S. rail system has been achieved and has produced a rail renaissance. The four Class I railroads that today dominate the U.S. rail shipping market are achieving returns on revenue and operating ratios that rank them among the most profitable bus. in the U.S. Charts and tables.

Book excerpt: Thirty years ago, Congress made sweeping changes to the laws regulating freight railroads to give the industry the opportunity to improve its finances and its ability to compete against other transportation modes. A review of the Class I railroads' recent financial results shows that the Staggers Act's goal of restoring financial stability to the U.S. rail system has been achieved. Unlike other transportation modes such as trucking, the railroads have been able to maintain their high profit margins even during the sustained economic downturn of 2008-10. Freight railroads have been assuring their investors the companies will take advantage of this robust pricing environment and continue to push rate increases on their customers. In spite of the obvious financial strength of the Class I railroads, their industry association, the Association of American Railroads (AAR), continues to tell Congress and the Surface Transportation Board (STB) that the freight rail industry is not yet financially stable and is not yet capable of meeting its capital needs without the differential pricing powers the Staggers Act gave the railroads in 1980. As the rail industry continues to operate profitably and to aggressively exercise its pricing power, these claims need to be more carefully scrutinized.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Staggers Rail Act of 1980 largely deregulated the freight railroad industry, giving the railroads freedom to price their services according to market conditions and encouraging greater reliance on competition to set rates. The act recognized the need for railroads to recover costs by setting higher rates for shippers with fewer transportation alternatives. The act also recognized that some shippers might not have access to competitive alternatives and might be subject to unreasonably high rates. It established a threshold for rate relief and granted the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Surface Transportation Board (STB) the authority to develop a rate relief process for those "captive" shippers. GAO's reported on rates, competition, and other industry trends in reports issued in October 2006 and August 2007. This statement is based on those reports and discusses (1) the changes that have occurred in the railroad industry since the enactment of the Staggers Rail Act, including changes in rail rates since 1985, (2) the extent of captivity in the industry and STB's efforts to protect captive shippers, and (3) STB's actions to address GAO's recent recommendations.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The passage of the Staggers Rail Act in 1980 led brought a renaissance to the freight rail industry. In the decade following, economists documented the effects of the Act on a variety of important economic metrics including prices, costs, and productivity. Over the preceding years, and with the return of the industry to more stable footing, attention to the industry by economists faded. The lack of attention, however, has not been due to a dearth of ongoing economic and policy issues that continue to confront the industry. In this volume, we begin to rectify this inattention. Rather than retread older analyses or provide yet another look at the consequences of Staggers, we assemble a collection of ten chapters in four sections that collectively provide fresh and up-to-date analyses of the economic issues and policy challenges the industry faces: the first section sets the context through foundational discussion of freight rail; the second section highlights the role of freight rail in an increasingly interrelated economy; the third section examines industry structure and scope in freight rail; and the fourth section assesses current regulatory challenges that confront freight rail. This book will be of great value to researchers, academics, policymakers, and students interested in the fields of freight rail economics and policy, transportation, business history, and regulatory economics. he role of freight rail in an increasingly interrelated economy; the third section examines industry structure and scope in freight rail; and the fourth section assesses current regulatory challenges that confront freight rail.

Book excerpt: Since the passage of the Staggers Rail Act of 1980, there have been several reports on the freight railroad industry. The most recent report was on Oct. 6, 2006, in which it was reported that industry rates & the rates for many commodities (e.g., coal & motor vehicles) had generally declined from 1985 through 2004. It was also reported that freight railroad companies do not consistently report revenues raised from fuel surcharges. This inconsistent reporting led to a recommendation that the Surface Transport. Board review its method of data collection to ensure that all freight railroads are consistently & accurately reporting all revenues collected from shippers. Charts & tables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 25 years ago, Congress transformed federal freight rail transportation policy. At that time, after almost 100 years of economic regulation, the railroad industry was in serious economic decline, with rising costs, losses, and bankruptcies. In response, Congress passed the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976 and the Staggers Rail Act of 1980. Together, these pieces of legislation substantially deregulated the railroad industry. Since the passage of the Staggers Rail Act in 1980, we have issued several reports on the freight railroad industry. In October 2006, we issued our most recent report on the freight rail industry. The objectives of this report were to determine (1) the changes that have occurred in the freight railroad industry since the enactment of the Staggers Rail Act, including changes in rail rates and competition in the industry; (2) the actions STB has taken to address concerns about competition and captivity and any alternative approaches that could be considered to address remaining concerns; and (3) the projections for freight traffic demand over the next 15 to 25 years, the freight railroad industry's ability to meet that demand, and potential federal policy responses. Among other things, this report describes the significant changes that have taken place in the railroad industry and reports that from 1985 through 2004, rates generally decreased, but nominal grain rates increased 9 percent. We also found that, on some routes, the amount of grain traveling at rates significantly above the threshold for rate relief had increased since 1985.
