GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Forums provide targeted feedback about a specific topic or freight mode. Participants take a deep dive into the challenges and opportunities surrounding a specific area of freight or passenger rail to explore comprehensive ways to improve it. At this time, these forums will be conducted virtually for the health and safety of participants.
These are people with expertise in the freight and/or passenger rail industry. Their knowledge and experience help planners learn about key industries, issues and concerns from freight leaders across the state.
Stakeholder Coordination Meetings – This group of industry experts meets regularly during the plan process to discuss key topics, policy and projects that could be implemented in the plan. MoDOT has established this Steering Committee to hear from a variety of industry viewpoints. Participants on the committee serve as liaisons between the interests and industries they represent and MoDOT, providing deeper insight into their operations, and ensuring the plan is responsive to their needs.
