Railroad Community of Interest Meeting
FHWA is also hosting a SHRP2 Railroad Community of Interest Meeting to be held in Denver, CO on June 9-10, 2020. This meeting will support Railroad-DOT Mitigation Strategies as Railroad volumes are expected to continue to grow, increasing the importance of effective project coordination between public highway departments and railroads. Railroad-DOT Mitigation Strategies cements understanding of each agency’s needs and streamlines the coordination process, saving both time and money. Road users will also benefit from on-budget, rapid highway renewal.
Stay tuned for more information on this meeting as the planning develops.
