Abstract

Introduction

OBJECTIVE
Safety and Security:
UTHM Railway System should continue to identify and support rail and rail highway safety
improvements and coordinate with appropriate partners to identify and implement security and
emergency response plans.
Quality of Life and Environmental Stewardship:
Rail and land use planning should be integrated at the state, regional, and local levels. Further,
the environmental benefits of rail should be evaluated and transportation and environmental
decisions should be integrated into the statewide, regional, and local planning processes.
Maintenance and Preservation:
Maintenance and preservation of rail infrastructure and service and modernization of the rail
system should remain a high priority.
Mobility and Economic Competitiveness:
Investments in Floridas rail system should support and spur desired economic growth. Florida
should invest in rail system capacity improvements to enhance the interstate and intrastate
movement of people and goods when public benefit can be demonstrated, and capacity should be
preserved for future needs, including the evaluation of all abandoned rail corridors for future rail
use.
Sustainable Investments:
Public awareness of the need for state and regional investments in rail is an important component
of Floridas goal to become increasingly competitive economically and its ability to keep pace
with investments in both passenger and freight rail occurring elsewhere in the nation.
Opportunities for funding rail projects should be aggressively pursued in cooperation with
leaders at the local, regional, state, and national levels.

POLICY AND RECOMMENDATION

Many agricultural, industrial, and commercial operations rely on rail transportation to move
products efficiently throughout the Malaysia. The high speed rail system will be a great
transportation resource for UTHM residents and could also contribute to the students mobility.
The policies in this section focus on the maintenance, safety, and future improvement/expansion
of freight and passenger rail transportation systems in UTHM.

Freight and Passenger Rail Services

Support the continued operation and improvements to existing freight and passenger.

Rail Service Coordination

Encourage coordination of passenger rail services with other public transportation.

AtGrade Rail Crossing

Encourage alternatives to atgrade rail crossings at existing and future roads.

Railroad Corridor Preservation

Work with other agencies to plan railroad corridors that facilitate the preservation of
important rail line rightofway for future rail expansion or other appropriate
transportation facilities.

High Speed Rail

Enhance students movement to campus and hostel.

CONCLUSION

Throughout the whole project of this railway system, it is mainly focused to reduce the traffic
flow so that there will be an ease of movement for students and staffs activity. Since month by

month and year by year there is an increase in the population of students, the flow of traffic
increase drastically. With our railway system traffic flow can be reduce to a significant level.
Thus, by using our system students could travel easily from hotel to campus and vice versa.
By having railway system, staff also could travel easily from outside to campus. Education
could be deliver easily to all of the students effectively without any obstruction of traffic.
Organizing activities and programs are would be easier in UTHM. More involvement of students
could lead our university to be in higher level in terms of transportation. Establishing this project
could led UTHM to be on next level of achievement. Therefore it is highly needed support from
government as our campus is fully government sponsored university.
