The Staggers Rail Act of 1980 continued reform measures aimed at reducing Federal regulatory control over the railroads and revitalizing the rail industry. According to the Association of American Railroads, the increased operational and ratemaking authority which the act gave the railroads helped to minimize the recession's impact on the industry. Selected shippers GAO surveyed indicated that they also benefited from certain of the act's provisions but were concerned with its implementation. This report presents information on these and other matters, such as railroad revenue adequacy and the Interstate Commerce Commission's handling of disputes between shippers and railroads.
