As part of the Arizona Department of Transportation’s focus on multimodal long-range planning, the department updated the State Rail Plan in 2022 to better determine rail improvements across the state, based on future needs and opportunities.

The rail plan update provides guidance for the existing rail systems and services used by Arizona’s freight shippers and the public. It also provides an assessment of the statewide rail system, offering recommendations for policies, programs, processes and projects that will improve rail-related safety and service. The plan consists of five major elements:

• Describing the role of rail transportation in the state
• Profiling the state’s railroad assets and traffic, along with identifying markets, logistics, and economic and demographic trends that will have an impact on rail transportation needs
• Determining freight rail needs and improvements
• Determining passenger rail needs and improvements
• Development of a rail service plan
