Omaha, NE

Studies have been underway for some years considering the possibility of building a heritage trolley system in Omaha. At a hearing in May, 2002 the local transit operator expressed concern about the cost of building the system compared to the cost of buying and operating buses. Nonetheless, the project remains under consideration.
