Get Involved

We are working to keep Maine moving and developing economically while keeping  Maine in its natural beauty.  


We are working with citizens and legislators  to encourage the extension of passenger train service to Bangor so that 90% of Maine's population can be within 1 hour of train service connecting Maine together. 


We are working with environmentally focused groups to preserve rail corridors.  We encourage rail with trail to ensure the future use of the corridors for passenger service. This  leads to economic growth, affordable development without sprawl, open land, and climate friendly transportation options.
