Strengthening Transit Through Community Partnerships
In April, 2016, CNT conducted a wide-reaching online survey receiving more than 1,000 responses and including two public meetings, one in Las Cruces, and another in Anthony.
“The study reveals how people will use the commuter service, which impediments or problems the commuter service may have, and will be helpful for a proposed service plan,” said David Chandler, director of market research and innovation at CNT and project manager for the commuter rail study. “A rail service would be a fixed, permanent anchor (of transportation) and would operate on the same track as the Burlington Northern Santa Fe, one of the largest freight railroads in the United States.”
