I like this video by Eric Nelius where he estimates the costs of building and using Higher Speed Rail (200MPH) verses driving verses flying verses higher speed rail (120MPH). I take issue with the cost estimates for building HSR. The California HSR line is plowing through economically developed/productive (expensive) land every inch (centimeter) of the…

Here is the video for our newest video.

Here is the result of my efforts to add live stream to our YouTube Channel. This stretches our ability to reach people. And it is easier to add content to the NWA GO YouTube channel. Check it out.

Fun fact, the English word “report” comes from the French word “Rapport” meaning to re-create. When I met with the City of Fayetteville Transportation Committee last week I was told it was recorded and I would be able to see it online. I can’t find it yet. I know it is a lot of hassle…

When I got back home I posted that I caught a severe head cold. I am starting to recover but still a little loopy. I may have to revise this post and the last one for clarity. We will see. In this post I want to share my experience going up Capitol Hill to visit…

This past week at the Rail Passengers Association meeting I learned a great deal about how Amtrak’s future spending will be prioritized. I thought about how to break this down when I came upon this video which covers the basic points I wanted to make. I also had a short conversation with RPA President Jim…

A few years back a young actor named Adrian Grenier created an organization called SHFT to facilitate environmental change. His idea was that change should taste good. Very clever idea including the name. By taking the “i” out of SHFT he took his ego out of it too. Mostly though, he tried to take the…

I have some important updates on our Make the Ask Campaign for 2023. Make the Ask is an attempt to get more citizens to go to our elected officials especially local elected officials and ask them to fund/support/lead on mass transit projects. From a full bus schedule (i.e. 20/7), to light rail, to passenger intercity…
