Join us September 23rd at 2:30pm Eastern as we hear from Ray Lang, Amtrak’s Senior Director for National State Relations, on programs being developed by Congress, by states, and by the railroad to build out the National Network into underserved markets, particularly in fast growing regions in the Sun Belt. Lang will also give an inside look at the conversations Amtrak is having with individual states looking to bring passenger rail service to their region.

You’ll also hear from Rail Passengers’ Sean Jeans-Gail about the work done by the states and the Federal Railroad Administration to map out network expansions in the Southwest, the Southeast and the Midwest.
