  The purpose of this research is to examine the California State Rail Plan of 2018, assessing its effectiveness in addressing rail related issues and opportunities on a statewide level. To achieve this end, this research seeks to establish best practices in state-level rail planning through comprehensive review of state rail plans for all fifty states, as well as review related academic literature. This review process highlighted a number of best practices for planning on a state-level, also unveiling gaps and opportunities to improve the process, scope, and implementation of state rail plans in California and states across the country.
