There are several planning efforts underway to expand passenger rail in Wisconsin. Awarded $2.5 million by the federal government, Wisconsin Department of Transportation will study expanding and adding new service along 5 corridors, consistent with their recently updated rail plan. One of these corridors would provide service to our state’s capitol. The City of Madison compliments these efforts by conducting its own study on preferred station location. Additionally, the City of Racine received a separate $5million grant to restart regional rail service between Kenosha, Racine, and Milwaukee. Hear from area experts with time for Q&A. |
