Those of us who live in the Chicago area should try to participate in this event.  All Amtrak trains serving Chicago and several Metra lines use Chicago Union Station.

Cordially,

This is a big deal. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) just announced they’re holding a series of meetings to gather feedback from the public on plans to upgrade passenger rail service from Chicago to Detroit.

The Chicago-Detroit/Pontiac passenger rail corridor is critical to building a high speed intercity rail network in the Midwest. This is winnable, but only if we all make our voices heard!

Thank you, as always, for all that you do.
