The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is seeking public input to an update on the State Rail Plan which addresses existing and future passenger and freight rail services in Oklahoma.
The plan reflects the latest rail project priorities and helps positions state stakeholders for federal funding.
The plan enables ODOT to:
- Take inventory and review usage of all rail lines
- Analyze rail service goals and rail’s contribution
- Catalog and assess potential infrastructure projects
- Examine financing challenges for projects and services
- Review rail safety improvement projects
ODOT will present updates to the State Rail Plan during a virtual public information meeting on Tuesday, December 9 at 2:30 p.m. You can register to watch the meeting here.
The department will start accepting public comments in a survey following the meeting on their Rail Plan website here.
