New York State rail plan

The 2009 New York State Rail Plan articulates the State's vision, goals, and objectives for New York's intercity passenger and freight rail systems. The plan, New York's first in over 22 years, will serve as a blueprint to guide New York State's rail transportation investment strategies. The plan was developed in cooperation with New York's freight railroads, Amtrak, commuter railroads, transportation planners, and New York residents. The State Rail Plan was prepared based on extensive public comments, including four public information workshops, regarding a draft State Rail Plan report released in June 2008. The 2009 New York State Rail Plan was developed to meet and exceed the rail planning provisions of the federal Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008, Public Law 110-432.
