Fwd: Quad Cities Amtrak Station Funding Announced

By Shelley Vermeulen

QUAD CITIES - Congressman Phil Hare today announced the Quad Cities will receive a $10 million federal TIGER II grant "for the construction of an intermodal station in downtown Moline," which will be the future Quad Cities Amtrak Station.

The funding is a result of a TIGER II funding application submitted in August 2010 by the State of Illinois Department of Transportation in collaboration with the City of Moline to support intercity passenger rail service between Chicago and the Quad Cities.

"The Amtrak Station funding is the culmination of years of hard work by Quad Cities' community leaders and elected officials who took action in response to the outpouring of public demand for passenger rail service," said Paul Rumler, Executive Director of the Quad Cities Passenger Rail Coalition. "Today's announcement would not be a reality without the leadership of Senator Durbin, Congressman Hare, and Congressman Braley who pushed hard for this funding at the federal level, and Governor Quinn who identified the Quad Cities Amtrak station as a top state priority for Illinois.  Passenger rail service will lead to new jobs and economic growth while adding to our region's quality of life."

Construction of the Amtrak station is expected to generate nearly 750 temporary construction jobs and result in the retention or creation of 1,100 private sector jobs.  An additional $47 million in private investment will come to the Quad Cities as a result of the transit oriented development centered on the Amtrak station.  When passenger rail service is realized, studies show that Quad Cities passenger rail service will create between 550-825 jobs, increase household income by $11-16 million, and boost property values by $52-75 million.

"Area residents, community and business leaders, and elected officials united through QC Rail to advocate and support passenger rail service, and together it's time to celebrate its return to the Quad Cities," said Rumler.

The Quad Cities Passenger Rail Coalition (QC Rail) was established by the Illinois Quad City Chamber of Commerce to advocate on behalf of the greater Quad City region for restored passenger rail service.  Over 10,000 area residents, community, labor, and business leaders, and elected officials have joined QC Rail since May 2007.

New Survey Shows Consumers Mad As Hell About Hidden Airline Fees

By BTC News Wire

Two-Thirds of Consumers Say They Have Been Surprised by Additional Fees at the Airport; Nearly Two-Thirds Said Fees Placed Unexpected Strain on Budget

Consumer and travel groups launch  MadAsHellAboutHiddenFees.com;  Announce "Mad As Hell Day!" on September 23rd to give travelers a voice on fees

Washington, DC - September 7, 2010 - The Consumer Travel Alliance (CTA), Business Travel Coalition (BTC) and American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) today released the results of an online survey of 1,396 travelers showing widespread surprise and anger over hidden airline fees for services such as checked baggage, advance seating and priority boarding.

Responding to traveler anger, the groups announced the launch of a new web site, MadAsHellAboutHiddenFees.com, that will allow travelers to tell their own hidden fee stories, create YouTube videos, and sign a petition to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) urging it to take action to require airlines to disclose those fees in advance through every ticketing channel. The groups also announced that they were marking September 23rd as "Mad As Hell Day!" and planned to deliver thousands of traveler petitions to the U.S. DOT on that day.

"As we come to the end of one of the busiest air travel periods of the year, millions of Americans are returning from their summer vacations tanned, rested, and mad as hell," said Kevin Mitchell, Chairman of the Business Travel Coalition. "They are tired of arriving at the airport and finding huge unexpected costs for travel services they thought were part of the ticket price. It's time for consumers, corporate travel managers and travel agents to stand up and say 'we're not going to take it any more!'"

Conducted over the last two weeks before Labor Day, the hidden fees survey found:

• Two-thirds (66%) of respondents said they had been surprised at the airport by unexpected fees for things such as checking bags, requesting a seat assignment, getting extra legroom, or flying standby.
• Nearly a third (29%) said they were surprised often or nearly every time they travel via air by such fees.
• Nearly two-thirds (65%) said such fees placed some or a great deal of unexpected financial strain on their budget for the trip, while more than a quarter (26%) said that those fees placed a great deal of unexpected strain.
• A nearly unanimous 99% of respondents said that they think airlines should be required to disclose all of their fees in advance on every web site that sells airline tickets.
• When asked to rank the fees they found most annoying, respondents rated carry-on baggage fees the most annoying, with 91% calling those fees "very annoying," followed by seat reservation fees (88% very annoying), checked baggage fees (74%), and telephone reservation fees (67%).

"Hidden fees are a violation of a traveler's most basic right: to know how much they will have to pay for their trip," said Charlie Leocha, President of the Consumer Travel Alliance. "When two out of every three air travelers say they have been surprised by hidden fees at the airport, you know the current system is broken and needs to be fixed. Airlines should have to share their fees with every traveler, through every ticketing channel, to every point of sale."

The three groups have called on Congress and the U.S. Department of Transportation to take swift action to ensure that all ancillary airline fees are fully disclosed to travelers through every distribution channel in which carriers participate so that the total cost of air travel options can be compared among carriers.

"For a travel agent, comparing air travel costs without fee transparency is like trying to read a book with half the pages torn out," said Paul Ruden, Senior Vice President of Legal and Industry Affairs for the American Society of Travel Agents. "We must level the playing field to ensure that travel agents and their customers can make apples-to-apples comparisons of the costs of each trip."

Methodology

The survey was conducted among 1,396 air travelers from August 20 - August 31, 2010. Respondents were recruited from the readers of online travel newsletters distributed by organizations such as Consumer Traveler and the Consumer Travel Alliance, and the survey was conducted online via SurveyMonkey. Full results of the survey can be found at MadAsHellAboutHiddenFees.com.

AirTran to Cease Atlanta Service, Adds Fort Myers, FL

By Cathie Rochau

325 Daily Seats to Atlanta Remain

MOLINE, IL (August 10, 2010) -- Late this morning, the Metropolitan Airport Authority was officially notified by AirTran Airways that service would be discontinued from Moline to Atlanta, effective November 30, 2010. Service to Orlando, the world's most popular tourist destination, will continue with four non-stop flights per week.

AirTran will begin new non-stop service from the Quad Cities to Fort Myers, FL beginning in the first quarter of 2011. The flight schedule for the Fort Myers service has not yet been announced. Preliminary discussions indicate Fort Myers service would be on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, complimenting the Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday service to Orlando.

AirTran's difficult decision comes after years of strong competition in the Moline/Atlanta marketplace. Delta continues to offer five daily non-stop flights to and from Atlanta on 65-seat aircraft with first class options, convenient flights times, low matching fares and strong global connection opportunities with over 1,000 departures to 226 non-stop destinations from Atlanta.

"Although we are disappointed with AirTran's decision regarding Atlanta," says Bruce Carter, Director of Aviation, "we are pleased that they will be maintaining service to Orlando and adding a new non-stop destination for our Fort Myers passengers."

The Airport Authority continues to explore new non-stop opportunities with AirTran, American, United and Delta, as well as advocating bringing additional new low-cost carriers into the marketplace. The Quad City International Airport remains a strong regional competitive choice for nearly one million travelers annually, with non-stop service to eight major hubs.

Don't let Mother Nature ruin your summer fun

By Rick Martin

State Farm offers tips for safe traveling

Bloomington, Ill., June 21, 2010 - As the summer season officially kicks off this week, don't let Mother Nature put a damper on your travels.  Tornadoes and hail storms can happen at a moment's notice. State Farm Insurance wants you to be protected on the road and offers some important tips of what to do when the sirens sound.

· Use headlights-Not only is it the law but visibility is usually compromised in rainy conditions and headlights can help.

· Keep your windows clear with the defroster or air conditioner

· Roads are slippery then they appear from the rain so take your time.

· Never cross a flooded roadway because it's tough to tell how deep the water is. Take the time to find an alternate route.

· Keep an eye out for flying debris. And use extra caution near trailers, vans or vehicles carrying lightweight cargo.

· Never try to outrun a tornado. Get out of the car and find shelter. If you can't reach a safe structure, lie down in a ditch or low area. Stay face down to protect yourself from flying debris and cover the back of your head and neck with your hands.

Also remember, during summer months more people are on the road riding motorcycles and pulling trailers and campers.  But would you have the coverage you need in case the unexpected happens?

· Did you know that you can opt to have coverage on your camper or trailer under your auto policy?

· Or did you know you can opt for coverage on your rental cars?

· Motorcycles have many different coverages - do you have the right one?

State Farm recommends you talk to your agent or insurance provider to ensure your summer fun isn't spoiled by the unexpected.
