TOPEKA, Kan. — KDOT is evaluating the expansion of passenger rail in south central Kansas.
The proposed project would extend the Heartland Flyer passenger rail service from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to Newton, Kansas, where it would then connect with the Southwest Chief, a national route on Amtrak’s passenger rail network.
The Heartland Flyer currently provides daily service between Fort Worth, Texas, and Oklahoma City.
The Kansas Department of Transportation is holding a public meeting to discuss the KDOT Passenger Rail Service Development Plan update.
LIVE VIRTUAL MEETING

Following the live meeting, a virtual open house will be available until Jan. 1, 2025, and feature a recording of the presentation and an online comment form.
