To achieve this, there is a need to expand rail infrastructure and shift a portion of the movement of people and freight from highway to rail. The policy forum acted as a venue to discuss progress that is being made, problems that need to be overcome, and which steps should be given priority to move corridor development forward and create wider public understanding, support, and use.1423721 bytesapplication/pdfen-USinfrastructurerailcorridorsinter-metropolitanrailroadfreightpassengercommuterOther
