The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is in the process of updating the State Freight Rail Plan to meet federal and state requirements. The update will qualify the state for new federal grants authorized through the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008. The date for completion of the plan is Dec. 31. (To see Northwest Hub’s coverage of the Preliminary National Rail Plan, which was released on Friday, click here.)
WSDOT is seeking feedback on the update. On Oct. 22 WSDOT will be holding an open house from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Commission Board Room of WSDOT headquarters (310 Maple Park Ave. S.E., Olympia). Participants can find out more about the project, ask questions, talk with staff and provide feedback. To learn more click here.
