Abstract:SUBJECT:
TEMS (Transportation Economics & Management Systems, Inc.), the consultant specializing in
passenger rail planning, was secured by the HRTPO and its partner DRPT to evaluate the potential
passenger rail service alternative defined by the October 30, 2009 HRTPO Board resolution with
respect to both the CSX/I‐64 and Norfolk Southern/Route 460 rail corridors.
BACKGROUND:
Phase 1 of the consultant six‐month contract is from January 28, 2010 to July 31, 2010. In Phase 1, the
TEMS team will evaluate the base case 79‐mph/90‐mph concept, and establish if there is a case for
high‐speed rail. In undertaking this work, the TEMS team will work closely throughout the course of
the study with the HRTPO and DRPT staff to assess the potential of higher‐ and high‐speed rail as
determined by the HRTPO Board resolution.
