NARP is an alliance of railroad passengers and citizens who want a transportation choice in this country. NARP is the only national organization speaking for the users of passenger trains and rail transit. Increased use of trains reduces America's dependence on foreign oil. Trains are safe, especially in bad weather. Trains contribute to development which is more compact and less wasteful than auto-oriented development.
Trains pollute less than other modes of transportation.
Despite all that, public policy is skewed against users of trains. NARP works to steer federal policy toward fair treatment of all transportation modes. If you care about mobility and the environment, and want train service to improve now and in the future, then please join us. The web-counter says that you are visitor number since February 15, 1996.
