Douglas Spyrison [Ride the Rail]
Having Iowa step forward and rejoin the Midwest Interstate Passenger Rail Compact will represent a commitment to cooperating with neighboring states in bringing the many benefits of passenger rail to the people of Iowa and the region. Interstate passenger rail brings economic development, environmental benefits, increased travel safety and a vital connection to the many amenities of large urban hubs. Please signify our commitment to adding this vital form of transportation to our state by moving this out of committee.
