Telephonic Public Hearing: July 14, 2020
Due to the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency, and consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance regarding large events and mass gatherings, FRA will conduct a telephonic public hearing for the Washington Union Station Expansion DEIS. FRA will also hold other Project meetings virtually, including Section 106 Consulting Party meetings, and encourages submission of comments on the DEIS and other documents electronically.
The telephonic public hearing will be held on Tuesday, July 14, 2020 from 11am to 1pm and 6pm to 8pm. Attendees can call in using the toll-free number: (866) 478-3399.

Persons who require special accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act or persons who require translation services (free of charge) should email [email protected] at least 10 days prior to the meeting.
The public hearing is an opportunity for interested parties to provide oral comments on the Draft EIS and Draft 4(f) Evaluation. All comments received will become part of the public record. Commenters’ names and, when applicable, organizational affiliations may be shown but no other identifying personal information (including personal email addresses) will be published.

"The National Association of Railroad Passengers has done yeoman work over the years and in fact if it weren’t for NARP, I'd be surprised if Amtrak were still in possession of as a large a network as they have. So they've done good work, they're very good on the factual case."
