	WDNR - Northeast Trails Network Plan
		The section of corridor in Oconto County, the Nicolet Trail, is being transferred from DOT ownership to the DNR.
		This corridor includes an approved state trail segment between Brillion and Forest Junction, known as the Friendship Trail; a pending purchase in Menasha known as the Little Lake Butte des Morts connection; and a highway corridor trail from the town of Menasha to Fremont along newly reconstructed U.S. Highway 10.
		The owners have abandoned the rail corridor and the DNR is in the process of negotiating for the purchase of the land.

	Freight \| Northeast Diesel Collaborative
		The Northeast Diesel Collaborative (NEDC) combines the expertise of public and private partners in a coordinated regional initiative to significantly reduce diesel emissions and improve public health in the eight northeastern states.
		In the Northeast, 40 percent of all on-road transportation-related nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and 51 percent of the fine particle emissions (called fine particulate matter, or PM 2.5) are from heavy-duty trucks.
		EPA is considering standards that could achieve nearly 90 percent reductions in particulate matter and nitrogen oxides through the use of advanced emission control technology and clean diesel fuel with a sulfur content capped at 15 parts per million.

	Northeast vs. North rail lines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The Northeast Corridor light rail line to University City is almost a sure thing, but local transportation officials are still grappling over what to do about the North Corridor commuter rail line.
		The Northeast Corridor light rail line would run in the median of North Tryon, for the most part, connecting uptown to University City.
		The Northeast line is expected to qualify for federal funding because it projects a ridership of about 18,000, which is comparable to the projections for the South Corridor line.

	Indianapolis Northeast Corridor - Highway Improvements
		The northeast corridor area (roughly the region encompassing the northeast quandrant of I-465 and stretching outward along I-69 and SR 37) has experienced the fastest population and traffic growth in the Indianapolis area and is currently the one place where Indianapolis roadways exhibit legitimate traffic congestion.
		In a sense, the northeast corridor area is the worst place in the region for such high growth rates.
		While the corridor study counted as a Major Investment Study, nobody locally was happy with it.

	Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor: The Northeast Twenty Years of High Speed Rail
		While the Northeast in the 1960's had more passenger rail service than other areas, even there rail was not widely used, except for Boston, New York, and Philadelphia commuter services.
		Most of the equipment used in the Northeast Corridor was purchased in 1952 or earlier and the GG-1 locomotives dated to the late 1930's.
		The Northeast Corridor High Speed Rail Program was therefore initiated to bring the New York- Boston segment of the NEC up to the same levels of performance as the New York- Washington section.

		What Amtrak regards as its “best market,” the Northeast Corridor, is not and cannot be profitable, measured by generally accepted accounting principles universally used elsewhere in American business, including all the airlines.
		A group of senators, many from the Northeast, tried last month to insert Amtrak funding into the budget bill, but they failed.
		The load factor data alone shows plainly that Amtrak is significantly over-invested in the Northeast Corridor and the other short corridors, and under-invested in long distance markets.

	Amtrak's unprofitable Northeast Corridor. - By Timothy Noah - Slate Magazine
		According to Bowersox, the Northeast Corridor will need about $1 billion annually over the next 20 years to meet capital costs on all tracks, tunnels, and bridges.
		Bowersox's estimate that Amtrak will need $20 billion over the next two decades to maintain the Northeast Corridor infrastructure is essentially the same as that of the pro-privatization Amtrak Reform Council.
		Neither will the Amtrak Reform Council's proposed solution, which is to spin off the Northeast Corridor infrastructure into a "government owned and operated corporation" that's separate from a slimmed down, presumably profitable train operating company.
