in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Amtrak must work to grow its mail, express, and auto-ferry revenue, and can run auto-ferry service as part of regular passenger trips. State and local laws that get in the way of auto-ferry service do not apply to Amtrak or a partnering railroad.

(a) Actions To Increase Revenues. Amtrak must take steps to boost its revenue from carrying mail and express packages. To help increase revenue, Amtrak may offer auto-ferry transportation — carrying vehicles along with passengers — as part of its regular passenger service. (b) Authority of Others To Provide Auto-Ferry Transportation. State and local laws or regulations that would block auto-ferry service do not apply to Amtrak or to a rail carrier that provides it. A rail carrier cannot refuse to help Amtrak run auto-ferry service just because a State or local law would otherwise make that service unlawful.
