Public invited to comment on Idaho’s 20-year rail plan

A draft of the Idaho Rail Plan is available for public review and comment.

The draft plan guides the development of Idaho’s freight and passenger rail system for the next 20 years. It was generated from 18 months of stakeholder involvement and input.

All individuals, citizens and stakeholders, are encouraged to review the document and provide comments to ITD by June 10.

After comments are compiled, the plan will be finalized and submitted for review and adoption by the Idaho Transportation Board at its July 24 meeting.

The rail plan is a key element of Idaho’s transportation program.

For more information, an electronic copy of the plan and a link to a survey tool to expedite the process of reviewing and commenting on the document, please go to: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q2MD8BJ.

For more information about the program, contact Maureen Gresham, ITD freight and special projects coordinator, at (208) 334-8272 or email maureen.gresham@itd.idaho.gov.
