The Tyler Rail and Regional Transit Study is entering it\u2019s final stages and so the Tyler Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is asking local residents to respond to a survey that will help them decide how rail service could be deployed in the area. Consultants are currently examining a limited trolley service on existing rail lines in the short-term future and they\u2019re also looking at possible connections to high-speed rail service proposed for along Interstate 20.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a proposed high speed rail line that would connect Dallas-Fort Worth with Atlanta Georgia,\u201d Tyler MPO director Michael Howell said. \u201cIf this high speed rail line were to go in that would potentially give somebody the ability to get on a train in Tyler and go all the way to Dallas.\u201d<\/p>\n
In January, Tyler City Council approved a $150,000 contract with engineering consultants Kimley-Horn of Tyler to develop the Tyler Rail and Regional Transit Study as a part of the MPO\u2019s 2024-2025 Unified Planning Work Program.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Light Rail Study will help us modernize transportation options in the Tyler area, allowing more connectivity and sustainable development,\u201d Howell said.<\/p>\n
Kimley-Horn is hosting a virtual town hall about the Tyler Rail and Regional Transit Survey at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 23.<\/p>\n
