Why not consider a Using the existing facilities as a COMMUTER Rail run from Depew to Downtown.. Residents of Amherst, Cheektowga, Clarence, Lancaster, West Seneca, & Depew.. that commute everyday in AUTOS to downtown now have a option to use a REAL commuter line from suburbs to Downtown.. The station in Depew is close to Buffalo International Airport and RT 33 and Rt 90... The attached Document shows the Empty facility on Dick rd & Walden that could be used as a commuter parking lot with a small ped bridge to get pedestrians from lot to rail siding..This is a idea that will not cost MILLIONS and remove many daily commuters that drive everyday into downtown Buffalo... Just try it with existing Amtrak trains and see how it works... You could even have express buses drop off folks from towns futher east of Buffalo like Akron, Batavia , Lockport	DEPEW TRAIN STATION ADITIONAL PARKING.pdf

There are an infinite number of improvements that should be prioritized over GHG emissions reductions. At the top of that list are new Hudson river tubes. Until that is done it is a massive misuse of funds to spend anything on anything else. This is a hidden gas tax, an incredibly regressive one at that, being pushed through under the radar for no public benefit while we still do not have system-wide PTC or ADA compliance and have switches and signals presumably designed and built to operate outdoors that fail to operate in the wind/rain/snow. Moreover, the AGW science is not settled, nothing is imminent nor catastrophic - see document upload. According to IPPC, the global average temperatures have increased about 1 degree C since 1850 and that is about half due to human emissions. Despite the hysteria, IPPC also reports no measured increase in frequency or severity of tropical cyclone activities, it is frankly fraudulent or at least negligent for anyone to promote use of public resources to solve this non-problem. Amtrak operates Penn, as well as the regional rail infrastructure, and it is about as incompetent as any large bureaucratic organization can be and is completely unaccountable to anyone. A monkey randomly picking balls with train numbers from a bucket could better organize the train arrivals and departures. Simply auctioning off its assets to private operators would save money and probably have such efficiency gains that a measurable GHG emission reduction would result.	ecd-letter-to-un.pdf
