To encourage ridership, Connecticut should start by subsidizing Metro-North rides to concerts at the Hartford Healthcare Amphitheater in Bridgeport.

The Train Campaign invites you to sign our petition urging the Department of Transportation to study the reactivation of passenger service on long-neglected rail lines.

What is scarier? A shopping plaza being modified to include townhomes or watching your children move away because a home in town is unaffordable?
