Subject: ACTION ALERT: Tell Springfield to Include High-Speed Rail, Amtrak and Transit in the New Capital Bill

 

   

Ray,

Speaker Madigan recently introduced a "mini-capital bill" giving the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) access to $1.1 billion in bonds for road projects, but nothing for High-Speed Rail, Amtrak or transit. 

 <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=vrpE3vJdBKsF%2F7eSoF6JCIolCDs1z6%2B2> Can you tell Springfield to include these needed transportation options and grow, not cut, these services?

Governor Rauner’s has also proposed cuts that would have major impacts on the expansion of high-speed rail in Illinois and the Midwest, current and proposed Amtrak projects and transit throughout the state. In the meantime, the state was able to find $120 million for the road construction fund. 

 <http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=KPg3oTeIe9t93JFng6mapoolCDs1z6%2B2> Tell Springfield High-Speed Rail, Amtrak and transit are the transportation options we should be investing in for our future. 

Thank you for you support,
