Amtrak’s long-distance routes are in jeopardy.
The national passenger rail provider’s fleet of rolling stock is too small and too old to meet demand, which continues to rise. Trains are often sold out, and frequencies remain dismally low.
This year, it is essential that Amtrak places a large order of new equipment. In order to grow the network and develop the rolling stock supply chain, they need to run more trains. And they shouldn’t be pushing 50.
You can help make this happen.
In this webinar, Executive Director Rick Harnish and the High Speed Rail Alliance team will show how advocates throughout the country can get mayors, local governments, universities, nonprofit groups, and other entities to join us in telling Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy: buy more trains!
