New York City and its suburbs are one of the most transportation-intensive areas in the United States. As population and commerce grow within the region (Amazon in Queens) everything possible to increase capacity will have to be considered and the incentives to rely on private automobiles will have to be reduced. This will require Amtrak and local government to accept the realities of the 21st Century and work together to modernize the transportation system. It's also about time to finance and begin construction of new railroad tunnels between New Jersey and Manhattan - before transportation and commerce in the Northeast Corridor are seriously impacted by failure of the Century-old tunnels.
