U.S. DOT Holding Five Public Meetings on Its National Rail Plan
As it works to finalize a National Rail Plan that could prove pivotal
in securing dedicated long-term funding for high-speed rail, the U.S.
DOT is soliciting public feedback at five meetings in the coming weeks.
The
first public meeting will be held Wednesday in Kansas City, followed by
a Thursday meeting in Atlanta, according to a release sent today by the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Rail officials will stop in New
York City on May 26, Salt Lake City on June 3, and Portland on June 4.
More information, including locations for each meeting, is available on the agency’s website.
