The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) is seeking public input on 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.
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.
The public is invited to review an online presentation regarding freight and passenger rail in Arkansas and to complete a survey. The survey will be available now through February 13, 2024.

If you have questions about the Plan, please contact the Planning Division at (501) 569-2201 or planning@ardot.gov.
