Get Involved

We are working to keep Maine moving and economically developing while keeping the beauty of Maine.  Right now we are working with legislators and the citizens of Northern Maine to extend train service to Augusta, Waterville and Bangor so that 90% of Maine's population is within 1 hour of train service to its urban cities.
