2006 Annual Report
In January 2006 the council issued its annual report, calling rail service "short on parking, seating and adequate climate control", according to a news report.
"The council is not a cheerleader," Jim Cameron, chairman of the council, told the Associated Press. "Our goals are to reflect the concerns of commuters. We're nonpartisan and realistic." The report said the state's commuter rail system is plagued by a lack of available parking for commuters at many stations, with most towns having waiting lists for parking as long as four years, even as some holders of monthly parking permits rarely use their spaces. The 30-year-old rail cars are often decrepit and dirty, and commuters on the New Haven line pay some of the highest fares in the country.
