Support Federal Investment in Passenger Rail & Regional Connectivity
GRCA is inviting Berks County and regional businesses to sign on to a joint letter to our federal delegation in support of the upcoming surface transportation reauthorization and continued federal investment in passenger rail, including maintaining current funding levels for the Federal Railroad Administration and its passenger rail programs.
This effort demonstrates that the business community supports regional connectivity and recognizes the long-term value of passenger rail infrastructure for economic competitiveness, workforce access and growth.
To learn more about the regional passenger rail effort and the work of the Schuylkill River Passenger Rail Authority, visit its website.
If you have any questions, please reach out to GRCA’s Director of Advocacy, Alex Roche at aroche@greaterreading.org.
