Thanks for Downeaster track investment

Yesterday, Gov. John Baldacci signed a bill to direct $3 million dollars a year from existing rental car tax revenues towards upgrading the train tracks from Portland to Brunswick. This investment is critical to expanding the Downeaster’s service, but does not the fact that operating funds for the train run out in 2009.

Below, you can thank your state senator and let them know you want to see the Downeaster to continue operating and expanding.

Letter	Thank you for your support of $3 million a year for train track upgrades from Portland to Brunswick. By using existing rental car tax revenues to expand the Downeaster train, our state will give more people a transportation choice and reduce global warming pollution. This is a good first step. Next year the legislature will have to approve funds to keep the train running. Sincerely,
