the Pennsylvania Intercity Passenger and Freight Rail Plan is now available for public review.
The plan provides guidance on future rail needs and presents ways to enhance passenger and freight rail development to support economic growth and environmental sustainability, according to PennDOT Secretary Allen D. Biehler, P.E.
"This plan outlines what we want Pennsylvania's rail system to look like in 25 years and identifies our challenges in achieving those goals," Biehler said. "We now have a complete inventory of our passenger and freight rail infrastructure and we know the needs that each mode will face in the future. Having a sound plan is a first step toward a smart planning approach, but there is no getting around the fact that transportation funds are shrinking, and especially now that revenue from Act 44 will be dramatically reduced."
The plan will help to guide federal and state rail investments within the state and creates a base document for additional analyses of goods movement in other modes. It also fulfills the requirements of the Railroad Safety Enhancement Act of 2008, State Rail Plans and the Pennsylvania Rail Freight Preservation and Improvement Act Comprehensive Rail Freight Study.
To review the plan, visit the DOT SITE www.dot.state.pa.us and click on "Aviation and Rail Freight," click "PA Rail Plan 2035."
PennDOT developed the plan with extensive community input, including a public-comment period and substantial partnership with dozens of public and private sector stakeholders, including carriers, shippers, developers, labor, private entities and public agencies.
"I greatly appreciate the input we received from the public, all of which helped to make the plan stronger," Biehler said.
