Passenger Rail Service Development Plan (SDP) Update

KDOT is evaluating the expansion of passenger rail in south central Kansas. The proposed project would extend the Heartland Flyer passenger rail service from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to Newton, Kansas, where it would then connect with the Southwest Chief, a national route on Amtrak’s passenger rail network. The Heartland Flyer currently provides daily service between Fort Worth, Texas, and Oklahoma City.
