2005 Minnesota Statutes

     222.46 Rail Service Improvement Act; purpose. 

    The legislature finds and determines that integrated 
 transportation systems, including railways, highways and 
 airways, are necessary in order to meet the economic and energy 
 needs of the citizens of the state, both now and in the future.  
 The legislature finds that a portion of the present railroad 
 system in the state does not provide adequate service to 
 citizens of the state.  The legislature further finds and 
 determines that it is in the best interest of the state to 
 establish and fund a rail service improvement program and to 
 establish a railroad planning process in order to preserve and 
 improve essential rail service in the state.
