NCDOT Rail Division’s mission is the “…safe and efficient movement of people and goods on North Carolina’s railroads through freight, passenger and safety programs, supporting job creation and economic growth.” These objectives are integral in serving North Carolina’s citizens, visitors, and industries.
The project will seek to understand the economic contribution relating to the usage of the NC rail system. The final deliverables will include a profile of traffic data (freight and passenger) and economic contribution for each, based on passenger spending/economic benefit derived from their use of rail.
