Highlight of Business Operations:
available, ridership has decreased about 1% during the first half of 2010. Although SAFETEA-LU was scheduled to expire in September 2009, the bill has been extended through December 2010, with funding at about 2009 levels. Spending in 2011 is expected to increase by about 5%, although a new bill has not yet been passed. In early 2009, the U.S. federal government passed new spending legislation designed to stimulate the U.S. economy, with up to $20 billion to be spent on freight and passenger transportation, as follows: $8.4 billion for public transportation, $8 billion for high-speed rail, $1.5 billion for discretionary intermodal projects, and $1.3 billion for AMTRAK. Most of this funding has already been allocated to specific projects, and Wabtec expects to benefit slightly from this additional spending, as transit authorities invest in new locomotives and buses.Freight Group sales increased by $84.1 million, or 67.6%, due to higher sales of $42.5 million for electronics and specialty products, $9.6 million for brake products, $4.2 million for other products and $25.4 million from acquisitions.
