You Don't Need to Be In D.C. to Help Us Advocate for More Trains
March 28, 2019
It's still not too late to register. But even if you can't be there, you can still lend your voice to the chorus of passengers calling for more and better trains in the U.S.
By Sean Jeans-Gail, Vice President of Policy
Rail Passengers Association's members and Council of Representatives are gathering in D.C. on April 1st and 2nd to advocate for better transit, better intercity rail, a better Amtrak -- a better transportation network for all Americans.
It's still not too late to register. But even if you can't be there, you can still lend your voice to the chorus of passengers calling for more and better trains in the U.S.
With 31.7 million Amtrak passengers carried in Fiscal 2018 and multi-year increases in rail transit ridership, Rail Passengers Association is asking Congress to continue funding rail transportation at or above the levels provided in the Fiscal Year 2019 Appropriations Bill.
Over a hundred of our members are traveling to D.C. to make just this ask -- and you can help support them!
Act Now for more and better trains in America!
"Saving the Pennsylvanian (New York-Pittsburgh train) was a local effort but it was tremendously useful to have a national organization [NARP] to call upon for information and support. It was the combination of the local and national groups that made this happen."
