About me:
NARP's Vision Plan
The mission of the National Association of Railroad Passengers is to work for a modern, customer-focused national passenger train network that provides a travel choice Americans want. NARP is the largest national membership advocacy organization for train and rail transit passengers. We have worked since 1967 to expand the quality and quantity of passenger rail in the United States. Our work is supported by over 24,000 individual members.
Note that due to MySpace's overly aggressive anti-spam/phishing campaign, the links we had here don't work! For more information about NARP, please visit http://www.narprail.org/ . We apologize for any inconvenience.

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who's interested in strengthening our nation's transportation system by improving access to a high-quality network of passenger trains!
If you've ever had to travel to school, to work, to sightsee, to parties or nights on the town, or to visit friends and family, you understand the importance of having a choice of reliable, affordable, safe ways to get around!
