  13. Light Rail, also referred to as streetcar or trolley, is a lightweight passenger rail car that operates singly or in short trains in right-of-way that may or may not run in street traffic. Light Rail is often powered by overhead electric lines. Light Rail Introduction | Purpose and Need | Alternatives Analysis Process | Tier 1 Study Timeline | Next Steps
