Tell Lansing that you want trains!

Michigan needs and deserves vastly better train service.

Now is a great opportunity to make that happen as the Michigan Department of Transportation is updating its state long-range transportation plan. You can help put fast trains in their Michigan Mobility 2045 Plan and together we can ensure that trains will play a big role in strengthening Michigan’s economy.

Please contact your representatives — right now — and tell them Michigan must have fast, frequent, and affordable trains. Tell them we need the state to take leadership by commissioning a plan to get it done — and by funding the network’s construction. Then share this page with friends, family, and your social network.

We have provided a generic letter which you can change as you see fit. The form also includes their office number so that you can call to tell them it’s time to make fast trains a priority in Michigan.

Thank you for taking action!

Subject: Please make fast trains a priority in Michigan

Message:

Please work for a statewide high-frequency passenger rail and bus network as part of the Michigan Mobility 2045 Plan. There is already a strong foundation of passenger rail in the state. Few states can match Michigan’s combination of existing assets and untapped potential. Now it’s time to build on the significant investment the state has already made and create the kind of modern rail network that Michigan deserves. A game-changing rail network would include four key features. 1. Hourly departures on the Chicago - Detroit Wolverine Corridor. 2. High-frequency 110-mph trains on the Coast to Coast line, linking Detroit, Lansing and Grand Rapids. 3. A new line linking Detroit and Ann Arbor to Traverse City. 4. Expanded service on other corridors. Additionally, the state should partner with Ford to include a new, passenger rail hub at Michigan Central Station in Detroit. A vibrant network of modern trains will build a strong economy, attract workers and investments, slash greenhouse gas emissions, and put Michigan at the center of a U.S. transportation revolution. Please work to make fast trains a big part of the state’s transportation plan. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
