Study to examine Detroit-Lansing-Grand Rapids passenger rail | Crain's Detroit Business:
A study will look at possible new passenger rail service that could connect Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids and Holland.
The Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority's governing board voted Thursday to authorize a $100,000 contract for a rail ridership and cost estimate study for passenger rail along that corridor.
The study will seek to determine the demand and feasibility for service between eastern and Western Michigan, the Ann Arbor News reported.
The study will involve looking at the economic and financial impacts of establishing such a service, which could include Ann Arbor.
The AAATA is acting as a conduit for pass-through grant funding on behalf of the Michigan Environmental Council, which is taking the lead on the study.
There also has been recent discussion about possible passenger rail service between Ann Arbor and Traverse City, with stops in Cadillac, Mount Pleasant, Alma, Owosso and Howell."
