How can I help the
Coast Starlight and other Amtrak trains?
First and foremost…
The easiest way for you to
help the Coast Starlight is by riding the train yourself. Bring your family and friends along
for the ride! Kids generally love
trains!
Tell the story…
After your journeys, tell
your family, friends, collogues, neighbors and everyone else you know about
your journey. Suggest that they
take the train next time they travel!
Your
elected officials…
Write your elected officials
and urge them to support the Coast Starlight and other Amtrak trains. Tell them of your journeys and how
train travel has benefited you. Urge
them to provide Amtrak with a substantial and stable budget that supports our
Long Distance train network, provides for additional equipment and rolling
stock, on-board improvements, marketing and staffing.
