We will have a program that is relevant both to the immediate and long-term issues that face us. We are putting together a program that should be of interest to all passenger rail advocates.
PennDOT Deputy Secretary Jennie Granger will be our featured speaker, and we will also hear a presentation by Mr. Manny DeMutis, who will discuss a project to bring passenger rail to Phoenixville, PA. Amtrak and the Rail Passengers Association are also expected to be represented.
We will also hear reports from local rail passenger organizations in the states of New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, such as NJ-ARP, DVARP and WPPR. Time will be provided for questions, discussion, and the exchange of ideas. We very much hope you will be able to join us.

"The National Association of Railroad Passengers has done yeoman work over the years and in fact if it weren’t for NARP, I'd be surprised if Amtrak were still in possession of as a large a network as they have. So they've done good work, they're very good on the factual case."
