ELPC Advocacy Pays Off – Iowa Governor Approves Rail Funding

Wednesday, May 6, 2009

ELPC has spent years promoting passenger rail as a convenient and sustainable transportation option for Midwest.  On Monday, Iowa Governor Chet Culver signed important legislation that will move passenger rail forward in Iowa.  

With this legislation and a commitment of $3 million, Iowa will be able to leverage many millions more in federal funds to make rail service between Chicago, the Quad Cities, Iowa City and Des Moines a reality in the next few years.  Read the coverage of this legislation here.
