The Vermont State Legislature in Act No. 156
mandated the
Agency of Transportation to research an east-west corridor from Rutland to the
New Hampshire border and report back to the legislature by January 15th,
2001. This report was developed in response to the legislative mandate
stated below: "The secretary of the
agency of transportation shall develop a report incorporating past and
current studies for the movement of freight by rail and commercial
motor vehicles along an east-west corridor from Rutland to the New
Hampshire border. The report shall take into consideration the
resources available to the state, the current transportation capital
program and project development plan, and improvements to the current
transportation infrastructure which would have the potential to
increase rail freight shipments through the corridor. This report
should synthesize all previous studies related to the feasibility of
constructing a new highway or reconstructing existing highways, and
any combination of the two. The data resulting from this review shall
be reported to the legislature by January 15, 2001."
The findings, conclusions, and
recommendations of this study are provided in Section 6.0 of this
executive summary.
