Flying more, enjoying it less?

Thursday, July 28, 2016

I've seen a lot of posts like this recently. Train supporters are flying, because Amtrak is just not meeting their needs. Personally, I'm taking trains less and flying more this year.

This is bad news. We need to be making passenger trains more convenient, not less.

So now that the circuses in Cleveland and Philadelphia have done their jobs, it's time to focus on electing candidates that support better infrastructure.

And we need to find and support candidates running for office at every level -- US Congress, governors, state legislators, city and county council members -- who recognize the importance of passenger rail.

Do you know candidates like that? Let us know! We'll build a list of supporters, and share it soon.
