The document summarizes a presentation made to the Capital Metro Board of Directors about a proposed new freight rail service for Central Texas Rail Terminal LLC. It would shift ethanol transport from 45-50 truckloads per day on highways to 4-5 trains per month on Capital Metro's rail line. Safety measures and benefits of the freight rail option over truck transport are discussed, including reducing accidents, congestion, and environmental impacts. Capital Metro has a federal obligation as a common carrier to provide the freight transportation service if requested.
