CHIPPEWA VALLEY area residents! Please join ALL ABOARD WISCONSIN at a Community Forum in Eau Claire to discuss the role of passenger trains in Wisconsin’s future. This is the second in a series of Community Forums we are hosting throughout Wisconsin. Our goal: to engage citizens in thoughtful, informed conversations about our transportation choices in the coming decades.
YOUR involvement is needed to help develop a statewide plan which includes intercity passenger train service – in conjunction with efficiently coordinated, handicap-accessible connections to other transportation choices like air travel, bus service, taxi, auto, and municipal transit.
ALL ABOARD WISCONSIN is an alliance of organizations and individuals promoting passenger trains and connecting transportation choices statewide as an integral part of Wisconsin’s and the nation’s travel network. In this Forum we’ll provide an overview of our existing transportation system, consider potential routes and destinations, and provide a big-picture vision

of our passenger train future!

We in Wisconsin continue to pay for Walker's decision to reject the train funding. So far, this means the decision to reject the train funding has now cost the Wisconsin taxpayers over $ 900 million. We should recall walker for this decision.

Tentatively scheduled for March 19, 1:30 pm, at the Inn On The Park in downtown Madison. If you're interested, and wish to make your views known in a constructive fashion, you're invited to come.
