Project

Cancelled

Johnson County's plan for a battery-powered commuter train along the CRANDIC rail line is now on hold after the railway's owner declined to lease its tracks for passenger use. The decision effectively halts the proposed Pop-Up Metro project, a $5.7 million pilot program designed to test the feasibility of regional rail transit between North Liberty and Iowa City.
