Don’t Miss the RTC’s UPDATED Summer Engagement Opportunities for the Zero Emission Passenger Rail and Trail Project!

The RTC is at a key milestone to provide the public with a first look at key components of the Zero Emission Passenger Rail and Trail (ZEPRT) Draft Project Concept including conceptual rail and trail alignment, ridership projections, station locations and design, operations, and capital and operating cost estimates.
