Speakers:

A moderated panel of rail industry and passenger-rail representatives discussed how passenger service can be added to freight-dominated corridors, focusing on collaboration, financing, insurance/indemnity, safety and station siting. Speakers urged early engagement with railroads, clearer processes for data access and grant partnerships, and careful planning for operations and safety.
