A Multi-State Plan Needs Multi-State Involvement
RAIL
Solution is reaching out to Tennesseans,
Pennsylvanians, Marylanders, and

“Our neighbors need to know
that the H-1581 process offers opportunity
for significant transport- ation
improvements at less cost to taxpayers,
highway users and our environment
up and down the I-81 Corridor. These
citizens need to be pressing their
transportation planners to gain

process.”
