Kentucky Statewide Rail Plan

Bardstown-Nelson County Tourist & Convention Commission

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), along with consulting firm Parsons Brinckerhoff, has assembled a project team to update the Kentucky Statewide Rail Plan.

The plan is a policy document that details freight and rail passenger operations and trends in Kentucky, and focuses on setting a framework for high level goals and policies that can be used by decision makers, industry officials, and others interested in rail in the commonwealth. 

An open-house public meeting for the update of the Kentucky Rail Plan will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014, and will begin promptly at 4 p.m. and will close at 7 p.m.

The meeting will take place at:

Ashland Transportation Center

99 15th Street

Ashland, Ky., 41101

The purpose of the meeting is to gather feedback about rail transportation issues and needs in the state. Be prepared to offer your input on the rail plan! KYTC, along with Parsons Brinckerhoff, will have information to share regarding the rail plan, including previously identified issues and goals for the state’s rail transportation system.

We seek feedback on these goals as well as other concerns to include your community’s needs regarding improvements to the system, noting that there are limited funds available for public investment.
