National Rail Passengers CEO To Speak at May Meeting
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.
