Annual meeting in Williamsburg March 3

VARP will hold its 2012 annual meeting on March 3 at the Williamsburg Community Building from 11:30 to 4. This schedule will accommodate those traveling on Amtrak trains 66 and 67.

We expect to have presentations from these speakers:

• Thelma Drake of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation
• John Edwards, General Director of Passenger Policy at Norfolk Southern
• Randy Wright, President of the Hampton Roads Public Transportation Alliance

The Virginia Association of Railway Patrons wants Congress to direct Amtrak to run the Cardinal train daily and wants Congress to make sure that Amtrak has the operating funds, locomotives, and passenger cars to do so. Learn how you can help make this happen. See our Cardinal campaign page.
