Building on regionally-led efforts that have been in work since 2010, there is a federally chartered working group created by the FAST Act of 2015 actively determining how to restore passenger rail service across America’s southern coast – the Gulf Coast Working Group (GCWG). On March 15, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) provided an update to the Group on the current status of the report in light of the Commerce Committee’s expectations to receive the final report by late March/early April 2017. The update explains the FRA’s approach to provide a complete report to Congress with all the content required per the FAST Act.
