Railroad Planning

Arizona Rail Safety and Security Resource Guide (2008)

The guide focuses on targeted areas of railroad safety with emphasis on data driven, state specific needs identified by the "USDOT Highway-Rail Crossing Safety and Trespass Prevention Action Plan" developed by the United States Department of Transportation. The guide promotes rail safety to reduce the number of highway-rail grade crossing and trespassing incidents within the state and includes best practices in rail safety and security including engineering design improvements, public education and law enforcement.

State of Arizona Railroad Inventory & Assessment (2007)

Assessment Cover Page

The Arizona Department of Transportation retained R.L. Banks and Associates to develop the State of Arizona 2007 Railroad Inventory and Assessment. The purpose of this effort was to provide an overview of the current existing rail network of Arizona railroads as they exist today. This includes all Class I, short line, mining, terminal/switching and tourist railroad operations. This is the first such railroad inventory for the State of Arizona since 2000. The results of this study will be included in MAG's upcoming commuter rail study in 2007-2008.
