Make plans to join with other Iowa passenger rail advocates for this important organizational meeting!
Topics will include the election of Officers and a discussion of the opportunities to return passenger rail service to Des Moines in the future.
Attendees are invited to order lunch off their menu as we discuss where IARP wants to go in the future.
We will be having elections for officers which dues paid members may vote in. We will be having a table where new members may register during the meeting.

"On behalf of Amtrak’s onboard service staff, I want to thank the Rail Passengers Association for honoring their hard work with this award. The past couple years have indeed been difficult for Amtrak onboard service staff – coping with furloughs and job insecurity, adapting to changing protocols and services, not to mention the unfortunate events such as a tragic derailment and a fatal shooting. Nevertheless, our dedicated members at Amtrak have handled these hurdles with the care, attention and diligence for which they’re known. We thank Rail Passengers for their acknowledgement of our members’ hard work and, as always, look forward to seeing you on the rails."
