Public transportation may be getting an overhaul in the Fox Valley area.
City leaders from Appleton, Green Bay, Kaukauna, Menasha, Neenah, Fond du Lac, and Oshkosh all announced that they have joined together to send a letter of interest to the Federal Railroad Administration to show interest in building an Amtrak rail line.
This letter doesn’t mean that the line is going to be built, but rather that the municipalities are interested in the program.
FRA officials will make the final decision regarding the construction of the public transit system.
The project would give those traveling from Green Bay to Milwaukee a different option and would keep more cars off the roads, reducing wear and tear.
