Has the price of fuel prompted reduction in service resulted in less congestion and shorter take off and landing queues?

Secretary Peters,

I believe that a nationwide high speed inter-city rail system would do wonders to reduce airline delays and fuel consumption. The high cost of flying along with major congestion at airports is putting a serious strain on our economy. I couldn't even get a ticket from Minneapolis to Chicago last month on the Amtrak as it was sold out into the fall.

Americans need transportation choices if we want to keep our economy moving. Please support a multi-modal transportation policy that hedges our economy against rising hydrocarbon fuel prices by providing transportation choices such as nationwide high speed inter-city rail transit.

Thank you!
