Legislative leaders are currently in Washington discussing the FY18 Federal Budget and several of the programs that are imperative for the passenger rail system are at risk. You can make your voice heard by sending letters of support to members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. By sending these letters you are showing your support for continued funding for Amtrak’s long distance network, the re-establishment of a daily Gulf Coast passenger rail service, and fully funding and implementing all passenger rail programs created by the Fast Act of 2015.
