IMPACTS OF REGULATORY POLICY ON RAIL PRODUCTIVITY
The effects of regulation on railroad productivity are discussed, in particular the changes brought about by the Staggers Rail Act of 1980. However, the Staggers Act by itself will not improve productivity; it provides opportunities for improvement, but ways are needed to assess productivity from both an operating and a marketing standpoint in order to manage the opportunities better. Shippers are carefully reviewing their logistics and transportation functions in order to improve productivity, and something of a revolution is occurring in the management of this area.
