Dear Friend,

Two important new bills have been introduced in Congress to
advance passenger rail nationwide. The first reauthorizes Amtrak
and provides $14 billion over five years for intercity train
operations and about $350 million per year in grants to states
to improve rail service. The second provides $12 billion in new
investments in high-speed rail.

Please join me in asking our elected officials to support this
legislation.

and send your own message directly to the relevant decision
makers.
