From the event description: "Jim Mathews, President & CEO Rail Passengers Association (RPA), will share his vision for a robust national passenger train network within the U.S. at our October Ride the Rail event via Zoom. 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. As a volunteer, Mathews served on the Amtrak Customer Advisory Committee for six years, including two years leading the ACAC as chairman."
