Intercity Passenger Rail Service in Iowa
By The Midwest Interstate Passenger Rail Commission
The Midwest Interstate Passenger Rail Commission (MIPRC) brings together state leaders from across the region to advocate for passenger rail improvements. Formed by compact agreement in 2000, the MIPRC's
Current members are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio and Wisconsin.
Nine Midwestern state DOTs have been working together since 1996 to develop a 3,000 mile high-speed rail system for the region. When this plan is fully implemented, passenger rail service will be dramatically increased and trip times significantly decreased.
Chicago will serve as the hub of the system. About 90 percent of the Midwest's population will be within a one hour car ride to a Midwest Regional Rail System station and/or 30 minutes of a feeder bus station.
