Calling all Cyclists! Help launch Summer by Rail in New York Penn Station - this Sunday!

Sunday, May 15th - 2:00 PM
NARP is teaming up with the East Coast Greenway Alliance and national bicycle advocates to launch NARP's Summer By Rail campaign! We're sending our intern, Elena (and her bike, Stevie!) on a cross-country, 38-day rail trip using multi-modal transportation to show the power of a Connected America. They'll visit 20 cities in 15 states, and document each step (and pedal) of the journey.
The very first leg of her adventure will feature a tour of Manhattan's bikeways led by Greenway Alliance staff. Following Elena's tour, NARP will hold a kick-off event at 2:00 PM in the Rotunda of Penn Station in New York City (just look for the big National Rail Network map, and the NARP logo). Elena and NARP staffers will gather to talk about what's in store for the next two months of her grand rail adventure
We look forward to seeing you there -- and make sure to follow Elena at www.summerbyrail.com and on Instagram and Twitter, as well as NARP's Facebook page.
"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."
