Rail System Plan Development - RAIL STAKEHOLDER ADVISORY COMMITTEE (RSAC)

 

In the development of the Rail System Plan, the Department is seeking advice on policy issues from a committee made up of people from various interests around the state. These interests include not only the rail industry, but shippers; seaports; passenger rail agencies; legislative, state and local entities; and growth management and environmental interests.

 

At the outset of the process, the RSAC will be involved in a series of 5 meetings in the last half of 2008 to develop a set of policy recommendations to the Department. The Department will use those recommendations to develop the Plan.
