One Seat Ride Act
Summary
The One Seat Ride Act (H.R. 1547) directs the Department of Transportation to study the benefits and challenges of providing commuter rail service that does not require passengers to transfer trains. The study would specifically evaluate the economic and quality-of-life impacts of implementing direct, "single-seat" trips to and from major hubs, with a particular focus on the New Jersey Transit Raritan Valley Line during peak commuting hours. If passed, the findings would provide federal and state officials with a cost-benefit analysis to determine how eliminating transfers could improve travel times and convenience for daily rail commuters.
