Support High Speed Rail to Hampton Roads

The Downtown Norfolk Council Board of Directors endorses the resolution of the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) and will encourage DRPT to adopt an enhanced alternative #1.

The Regional Position Statement

Endorse the extension of high-speed rail service from Washington, D.C. to Richmond/Petersburg and the Hampton Roads region, designating a high-speed rail corridor along the Norfolk Southern/Route 460 corridor designated ultimately at speeds of more than 110 mph, and enhance the intercity passenger rail service along the CSX/I-64 corridor. The HRTPO position is best reflected in a strengthened alternative #1, which we strongly endorse.
