The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) is looking for the public’s input regarding the development of a State Rail Plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide a guide for future investments in freight and passenger rail infrastructure and services in Arkansas and to position the state for competitive railroad funding opportunities.
The statement from ARDOT about this said, “While ARDOT does not finance, own, operate, or maintain any rail infrastructure or services, the Highways and Transportation Act of 1977 requires ARDOT to develop a State Rail Plan.”
