Lone Star says rail project on track

STAFF REPORT

The Lone Star Rail District, formerly called the Austin-San Antonio Commuter Rail District, announced Monday that the goal of passenger rail from Georgetown to San Antonio is on track with the passage of several milestones in 2009.

“We’re closer than we’ve ever been to offering travelers some independence from I-35 traffic,” said State Senator Jeff Wentworth (R-San Antonio), a member of the Lone Star Rail District board. “The pieces have been coming together in 2009, and we believe support from potential riders up and down the corridor is now critical to making passenger rail a reality for our region.”
