sible to North Dakota customers and
trusted by citizens is essential.
Through this process we hope to im-
prove on each of those key issues."
The updated comprehensive plan
is evaluating the overall rail system
by reviewing:
* Railroad condition including
railroad crossings and rail lines
• Train speeds
• Existing railroad freight and pas-
senger demands and future needs
• Emergency response procedures
in the state
• Tank car specifications
• Economic, safety, and environ-
mental impacts on the state, includ-
ing "tradeoffs" with other modes
such as highways, pipeline, and air.
Parsons Brinckerhoff Inc. has
been named the transportation engi-
neering and planning firm to lead the
plan development, after being se-
lected through a competitive bid
process that brought responses from
rail industry experts across the
United States. Parsons Brinckerhoff
Inc. is a recognized leader in devel-
oping rail plans, and has assembled a
team that combines local familiarity
with national rail expertise.
The first major task is gathering
stakeholder and public input which
will include expert roundtable meet-
ings, public meetings, and individual
interviews. A public internet survey
is under development and will launch
sometime in the coming months.
"'The stakeholder and public out-
reach phase is a critical component of

the plan," said Grant Levi, NDDOT
director. "By working closely with
the public and rail partners we can
more effectively understand rail
transportations needs and ol)portulfi-
ties to safely move people and goods.
"A safe and efficient rail system is
important today and must meet the
needs of our grovxing state." said
Grog Wilz, director of the NDDES.
"Improving grade crossings and re-
ducing times that crossings are con-
gested with traffic xxill reduce
accidents and improve delivery of
emergency services."
Work on the NDDOT State Rail
Plan is divided into three phases:
• Phase 1 - Establiqfing the Cur-
rant Rail System Baseline. This work
is currently underway and is ex-
pected to wrap up in early 2016.
• Phase 1I - Identification of North
Dakota Rail Needs/()pportunities.
This phase will start in 2016 and is
targeting spring 20 16 tbr completion.
• Phase I11- Rail Service a~(l In-
vestment Program. The final phase of
the phm development is planned t\)r
completion by the end o[" tall 2(I16.

developed in 1980. Rail traffic vol-
umes have increased dramatically
since 2007, when the last update to
the plan was published," said Denver
Toll iver, director of the Upper Great
Plains Transportation Institute. "A
new plan is necessary to guide state
policies and ensure that businesses in
the state enjoy the best rail services
possible. Safe, cost-effective, and re-
liable railroad services are vital to
North Dakota's agricultural, energy,
and manufacturing industries."
