<br />Open House Looks at Ways to Improve Inter-City Passenger Rail Service <br />The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is studying ways to improve inter-city passenger rail service between <br />the Eugene-Springfield urban area and the Portland urban area. The study will help decide on a general passenger rail <br />route and evaluate options for train frequency, trip time, and improving on-time performance. <br /> <br />The needs and concerns of Oregon <br />citizens are a key driver of the Oregon <br />Passenger Rail study. The public is <br />invited to an open house to provide <br />input on the draft goals and <br />objectives, learn about corridor <br />concepts (early ideas for potential rail <br />routes) and provide input on the <br />preliminary screening results. <br /> <br />Locally, the open house will be held from 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 8, at the ODOT Office, McLane Conference Room (2nd <br />Floor), 644 North A Street, Springfield. Can’t make it to an open house? Visit www.OregonPassengerRail.org between Jan. 8 <br />and Jan. 27 for an online event to learn more, connect with project staff, and provide input.
