What is the Passenger Rail Task Force?

In the Spring of 2010 the Raleigh City Council appointed an 11 member Passenger Rail Task Force to advise the Council on several specific issues related to the future provision of passenger rail service–local, regional and long-distance–to the City of Raleigh.  Aside from focusing on high speed rail, the Task Force is also responsible for developing recommendations on Union Station, a proposed transit hub, and on other transit improvement projects.
