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 Rail Compact.
- Improve service and ridership of Amtrak's California Zephyr across Nebraska.
- Advocate commuter rail service between Omaha and Lincoln.
- Advocate establishing Amtrak service between Omaha and Kansas City.
- Advocate establishing a Department of Public Transportation in Nebraska State Government. Nebraska is the only state that has no Department of Transportation, just a Dept. of Roads.
