Jim Matthews, the President and C.E.O. of the national Rail Passengers Association, will be the featured speaker at the May meeting of the West Central Wisconsin Rail Coalition. A lifelong train traveler with a deep-rooted vision for a robust national passenger train network within the U.S., Mathews believes rail can be an economic engine in the communities it serves, a potentially transformative mode in an ever-changing transportation landscape and the most environmentally responsible way to meet the transportation challenges of the 21st century.

The virtual meeting (via Zoom) begins at 8:00 AM on Thursday, May 20th. The meeting is open to the public, but pre-registration is required for Zoom. Anyone who wishes to attend can register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcod-CorT4oG9IFrIY8WzkkLOCrJze_V9nN
