Restore the North Coast Hiawatha

The North Coast Hiawatha ran from Chicago through Minnesota, southern North Dakota, and southern Montana to Seattle. Amtrak estimates that this route would have over 350,000 riders a year and is currently looking for sources of funding.

Among other places, this route would bring service to the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana. Students there have created a petition, and if you are in one of the states that would be served by this route, you can sign here:


The Bring Back Amtrak website has a map of the proposed route and proposed actions. As more and more people leave cars for other forms of transportation, we need to start moving those subsidies as well.
