S-Line/SA-Line Resolution of Support

Julie White, NCDOT Deputy Sec. for Multimodal Transportation

 

Body

The S-Line Corridor is a vital southeast rail corridor between Raleigh and Petersburg, VA owned by CSX. Virginia signed an agreement in December 2019 with CSX to purchase right of way of the S-Line from Ridgeway, NC to Petersburg, VA. NCDOT is currently pursuing funding to purchase right of way in its portion of the corridor through an FRA grant program for Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements. NCDOT is looking for resolutions of support from local towns and counties along the S-Line/SA-Line, including acquiring support from CAMPO. See attachments for additional information on the S-Line Corridor.
