HARRISBURG – PennDOT is inviting the public to comment on the findings of a study identifying potential improvements and associated challenges and resources for passenger rail service between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh.
The Keystone West High Speed Rail Feasibility Report and Preliminary Service Development Plan outlines potential infrastructure and operational improvements and what service benefits those improvements could provide.
“Providing transportation options is very important, and we want the public’s input on the detailed findings of this report,” Acting PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards said. “The study has shown that there are significant challenges to improving this service and public feedback will be a valuable complement to these findings.”
The study can be viewed at www.PlantheKeystone.com on the “Keystone West” page under “Resources.” Public feedback will be accepted through Tuesday, March 31, by e-mailing KeystoneWest@planthekeystone.com.
The study was conducted in partnership with the Federal Railroad Administration.
