Rail Runner Adds New Construction Page to
Website
The Latest on Phase II Construction to Santa Fe Now
Just a Click Away!
Albuquerque - March 12, 2008
- Now you can get the latest information about plans to extend
Rail Runner service to
Santa Fe by
going online. The New Mexico Rail Runner Express has added a new
page to its website specifically aimed at construction updates
and lane closures.
“It’s
really important to keep the public informed as we move forward to Santa Fe”, says Lawrence Rael, Executive Director of the Mid-Region
Council of Governments. “This new page on the website highlights the
latest construction information currently going on in Santa Fe, as well what’s planned for the weeks
ahead.”
The new page can be accessed by going to
www.nmrailrunner.com. From there, web-users can look
for the “Construction” link under the “News & Updates” button. In
addition to seeing the latest construction schedule, people can also
view a map of the route, find out where the new stations will be
located, and comment on the draft schedule. All of this can be found
on the “Project Plans” link on the left side menu bar.
“This is part of our continued effort to make sure
people have an idea of what’s coming up”, says New Mexico Department
of Transportation Secretary Rhonda Faught. “I’m very pleased that
they’ll be able to simply go online and access the latest
construction information. It will make the commute that much easier
for the people of Santa Fe.”
Web-users can also view a four-minute video
presentation on the Rail Runner, as well as an animated view of the
train corridor once the project is complete in December of 2008. The
new Rail Runner construction web page will be updated with the
latest information every Friday afternoon.
In addition to the new web page, the Rail
Runner has expanded its customer service number so that everyone in
the corridor can have access to the latest train information. The
new toll free number is 866-795-7245 (RAIL). The local number that
serves the Albuquerque Metro area will remain in place: 245-7245
(RAIL).
