WisDOT: Review and comment on state’s long-range rail plan Wisconsin residents have until February 26, 2023, to review and comment on the draft Wisconsin Rail Plan 2050, which sets the state's long-term vision for freight and passenger rail travel. The plan is part of a comprehensive review of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's long-range plans and will replace the Wisconsin Rail Plan 2030 when completed later this year.

Wisconsin residents can review the plan and make comments online at www.wisdotplans.gov/plan/wrp2050.
