Dan Lipinski: “I'm very excited to see how much the private sector has stepped up on these issues in the last few years.”

I am especially honored to see $355 million in CIG funds awarded to the South Shore Lines West Lake Corridor.

I believe that Congress needs to act quickly to prevent furloughs and avoid long-distance service cuts.

I have always been a strong advocate for Amtrak, because it provides an important public service: national passenger rail service.

I hope you take very seriously the credibility that you will lose by engaging in these furloughs.
