ProRail Nebraska's Mission:
ProRail Nebraska is a not-for-profit organization founded to inform the citizens of Nebraska about the benefits of railroads and to promote balanced, efficient transportation - both freight and passenger - in Nebraska and the Nation. As an independent state affiliate of the National Association of Railroad Passengers (NARP), ProRail Nebraska is dedicated to supporting and advocating for railroad service in the state of Nebraska. Our Goals are to:
- Encourage
Nebraska to take a more active role in the Midwest Interstate
Passenger Rail Commission.
- Advocate
for Iowa DOT's proposed Chicago - Omaha passenger service via Des Moines
with service extending beyond Omaha to Lincoln.
- Advocate
establishing a Department of Surface Transportation in Nebraska State
Government. Nebraska is the only state that has no Department of
Transportation, just a Dept. of Roads.
- Advocate
for the expansion of the use and accessibility of the Amtrak stations in
the state as hubs for all surface public transportation systems.
- Advocate
for increased daylight service on Amtrak's California Zephyr route across Nebraska.
- Advocate
establishing Amtrak service between Omaha/Lincoln and Kansas City as an
extension of the proposed service between Dallas-Ft. Worth and Kansas
City.
- Advocate
commuter rail service between Omaha and Lincoln.
