Ideas for Ongoing Long-Distance Planning
FRA is considering ideas for a recurring, high-level long-distance planning
process, potentially updated approximately every five years, documenting:
Existing long-distance service, trends and forecasts, as well as needs and opportunities
o Proposed long-distance passenger rail programs and investments, as well as the status of
previously proposed long-distance passenger rail plans, projects, or other programs
■ This process, led by FRA, could be similar to State Rail Plans or other
comparable transportation investment plans, focusing on the status and needs
of future Amtrak long-distance service, as well as needs for current service.
Any new planning process would involve significant stakeholder
engagement
