Project Description
Quandel Consultants is under contract with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) to develop an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Service Development Plan for a proposed increase in passenger rail service on Amtrak’s Hiawatha Service between Chicago and Milwaukee. The EA will analyze the environmental impacts that result from increasing the number of intercity daily round trips from 7 to 10 and from increasing speeds from a maximum of 79 MPH to a maximum of 90 MPH.
