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.
If you go to the URL below you can check out what is at stake
and
send your own message directly to the relevant decision
makers.
