Amtrak Funding Saved

Let’s Go KC just received word from Tom Shrout at Citizens for Modern Transportation that the Senate/House Conference Committee has agreed to the $8 million request to continue the current four trains per day between Kansas City and St. Louis. The request for $5 million for upgrades to reduce congestion will come up later in a separate bill.

Thanks to everyone who contacted their legislators on this issue. Please stay tuned for news on the important project to reduce delays and improve reliability of the Missouri Amtrak service.
