Abstract:

The purpose of the Tri-State II High-Speed Rail Feasibility Study was to evaluate the potential for high-speed rail service in the Chicago-Milwaukee-Twin Cities corridor. The Midwest Regional Rail Initiative1 (MWRRI), the Base Case for Tri-State II, evaluated intermediate rail service; this study considered further improvements for a range of high-speed options. The Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) previously conducted a series of studies on regional rail options. Those studies, in conjunction with MWRRI results, show that high-speed service would be a viable economic investment for the region. Tri-State II evaluated incremental high speed (110 mph), high speed (150 mph) and very high speed (over 185 mph) train technologies that could be operated on various route alignments. Forecasts of ridership, revenue, operating costs and capital costs were created for the route and technology options using the RightTrack) software package. Ridership and revenue forecasts were developed based on travel characteristics, survey findings, and demographic statistics. After the financial return on investment was identified for each option, a Conceptual Implementation Plan was developed. 204p.
