High Speed Rail Mailing Introductory Letter (revised)

Dear _________,

Thank you for agreeing to participate in this important survey, conducted by the US Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration, about travel patterns along the Northeast Corridor!

The enclosed materials provide background information on travel options in the northeast. Please carefully review these materials.

An interviewer from Abt SRBI will contact you in the next several days to ask you about your preferred choices among travel options in the region. If possible, please keep these materials near the telephone so that they are handy when we call back. You may need to refer to them during the interview.

Thank you again for your continuing participation. As promised, we will send you $5 after completing the next and final phase of this survey. If you have any questions, feel free to call us at TBD.

Cordially,

Mindy Rhindress

Senior Vice President
