Hotline #711-A

Chairman Al Swift's Amtrak trust fund bill was introduced this afternoon in the House. It is H.R.4414. Swift has asked each NARP member to ask their Representative to co-sponsor this important bill. Representatives Ritter, Pease, Richardson, Slattery, Manton, and Andrews already are sponsors. Meanwhile, H.R.4250, the Amtrak reauthorization bill, was approved March 5 by the Transportation Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

The Crescent will be replaced with a bus between Birmingham and Meridian until March 17 because of track work.

SEPTA drivers may strike at 12:01 am on March 15.
