Des Moines Hearing Pushes Iowa Freight Rate Increase
Iowa railroads urged the state railroad commission to approve a 66 percent intrastate freight increase and a 20 percent rise in passenger fares. The commission is expected to act promptly on freight rates to take effect August 26, while it cannot order a passenger fare hike. The traffic community, meeting in Clear Lake, largely supports higher rates as needed and fair given interstate parity. Officials plan to outline full rates in coming weeks if approved, and a future effort may target fare law changes in the winter legislature.
