Dear friends of Regional Rail:

Please note change of date:

 

The next meeting of the Regional Rail Working Group (RRWG) will be held
on November 28, 2007, 6-8pm (meeting will start promptly at 6pm)

Please note change of location

 

Conference Room, Municipal Art Society, 457 Madison Avenue at 51st Street, New York, NY

 

MAS has cordially invited the RRWG to meet at their offices in Midtown to discuss ideas on rebuilding the Moynihan/Penn Station complex.  MAS planners involved in this project will make a presentation, followed by discussion.

Following this discussion we will continue with a brief an update on each of these key initiatives:

1. Thru-running at Penn Station
2. Upper Level Loop Alternative for LIRR East Side Access
3. Penn Station-Gr and Central connection
4. Rockaway Cut-off - one-seat ride Midtown Manhattan- JFK Airport
5. Lower Manhattan Access
6. Regional Rail Freight plan
7. Intercity rail issues
 

The purpose of the working group is to develop and advance plans for
converting the region's commuter rail lines into a regional rail system,
with fast, frequent service and affordable, integrated fares. The group
also considers changes to rapid transit and light rail transit that are
"regional" in scale.
 
Regional Rail issues are discussed on our website: www.rrwg.org



The working Group includes:

Empire State Passengers Association
NJ Association of Railroad Passengers
Lackawanna Coalition
Five Towns Rur al Transit, Inc.
Committee for Better Transit
Institute for Rational Urban Mobility

Plan to attend the next meeting on November 28, 2007.
