The discussion will continue on near-term regional rail coordination issues including through-running at Penn Station (with frequent service, integrated fares and a one-seat ride to JFK Airport) and longer term issues like the Penn Station-Grand Central Connection, routing options for a new Hudson River passenger rail tunnel, options for the Portal Bridge, and the status of the LIRR East Side Access project.
