“We want to give people an opportunity to adjust their routines before the schedule changes”, says Lawrence Rael, Executive Director of the Mid-Region Council of Governments. In most cases, the schedule changes will be minor, but if you’re a commuter, you usually have a pretty tight routine in the morning, so hopefully getting the schedule out in advance will give them time to prepare”.

The New Mexico Rail Runner Express has carried more than two-million passengers in the three years since it began service. The Rail Runner holds the record for being the fastest start-up of a commuter train service in the nation.
