Good data can inform decision makers about what really works—how best to relieve congestion and improve supply-chain connectivity to make freight transportation—and hence the U.S. economy—more competitive, write Mortimer Downey, Joseph Schofer, and Johanna Zmud.

U.S. communities depend on reliable, safe, and secure rail systems, but such systems are vulnerable to terrorist attack. A framework developed for rail security planners and policymakers can help guide cost-effective plans to secure their rail systems from attacks.

<p>Existing railroad infrastructure in the United States may lack sufficient capacity to accommodate the projected increase in demand for rail freight over the next several decades. <em>Getting America Back on Track: U.S. Policy on Public Railroads</em> discusses whether and how policymakers should invest in expanding U.S. rail infrastructure. Such investments have significant potential public benefits, but outstanding concerns exist and should be addressed.</p>

RAND Europe's annual report, Spotlight 2011, focuses on selected present and past RAND Europe signature research. With 2012 being our 20th anniversary year, the report features some of our most recent work while reflecting on how RAND Europe has developed and remained relevant over the last two decades. It also highlights selected research and corporate activity in 2011.

<p>To what extent would people sacrifice their right to privacy and liberty in exchange for potentially safer and more secure travel? This paper uses a stated choice experiment to quantify individuals' tradeoffs between privacy and security within a real-life context, namely rail travel in the UK. Using a nationwide sample, the empirical analysis yields the importance of improvements in the security infrastructure and identifies areas of concern with regard to privacy and liberty controlling for travel related factors.</p>

<p>In this article, we present an application of jointly estimated attitudinal and choice models to a real-world transport study, looking at the role of latent attitudes in a rail travel context. Our results show the impact that concern with privacy, liberty and security, and distrust of business, technology and authority have on the desire for rail travel in the face of increased security measures, as well as for universal security checks.</p>

<p>This study measures the use of train and bus/tram/metro by students in the Netherlands who own a Public Transport Pass. A total of 9,279 students (with either a pass for the weekend or the working week) were interviewed. The study asks questions about the quality of public transport and attributes of the students, and special attention is paid to travel between home and school by public transport. The interview data is processed, expanded and analysed. This volume explains the main outcomes of the study. Note: This report is composed in Dutch with an English language summary.</p>
