Help Bring High Speed Rail to Louisville (Archival Page)

What you can do to make this happen.


We Win!

See the Louisville High Speed Rail home page for details.

First, email me to let me know you support this effort and would like to help. If you are interested in getting periodic (but low volume) messages with the latest Louisville high speed rail news, let me know that as well.

I need volunteers to help me out with the graphics on this site. I need a map showing the proposed routes to Louisville, Lexington, and Nashville, along with their proposed stops.

Write a letter to local officials urging them to support a high speed rail extension to Louisville. I have names and addresses below. Note that typed letters are preferred over email messages or faxes. If you know additional people and organizations that should be on my list, please contact me. If you can supply any missing information, that would also be great.

If you live in Kentucky or Southern Indiana, you can join CART - the Coalition for the Advancement of Regional Transportation. Their phone number is (502) 589-2278. (Their address coming soon). This group is not only supporting high speed rail to Louisville, they are also active in supporting local light rail and bus service in Louisville.
