Abstract:

The Midwest Regional Rail Initiative is an ongoing effort to develop an improved and expanded passenger rail system in the Midwest. Since 1996, the Midwest Regional Rail Initiative (MWRRI) advanced from a series of service concepts, including increased operating speeds, train frequencies, system connectivity, and high service reliability, into a well-defined vision to create a 21st century regional passenger rail system. This vision has been transformed into a transportation plan-known as the Midwest Regional Rail System (MWRRS). The primary purpose of the MWRRS is to meet future regional travel needs through significant improvements to the level and quality of regional passenger rail service. The rail service and its stations will also provide a stimulus for joint development. The sponsors of the Midwest Regional Rail Initiative are Amtrak, the Federal Railroad Administration and the transportation agencies of nine Midwest states: Illinois Department of Transportation, Indiana Department of Transportation, Iowa Department of Transportation, Michigan Department of Transportation, Minnesota Department of Transportation, Missouri Department of Transportation, Nebraska Department of Roads, Ohio Rail Development Commission and Wisconsin Department of Transportation. This Executive Report includes an assessment of and refinements to the Midwest Regional Rail System Plan published in August 1998. An extensive range of issues has been addressed including infrastructure and operational requirements, level of travel market demand, financing alternatives, institutional arrangements and system-wide costs and benefits.
