The Surface Transportation Board is seeking comments on issues related to first-mile and last-mile rail service, according to a notice published in the Federal Register on Sept. 8.
First-mile and last-mile (FMLM) service refers to the movement of railcars between local railroad serving yards and shipper or receiver facilities.
Specifically, the agency’s notice requests comment on whether additional metrics to measure FMLM service might have utility that exceeds any related burden.
