On Friday, Rhode Island joined the States for Passenger Rail Coalition, bringing the organization's membership to a total of 33 states.
Established in 2000, the coalition is an alliance of state departments of transportation that support intercity passenger-rail initiatives and advocate for federal funding.
“It’s vitally important for the coalition to keep growing as an organization. With Rhode Island on board, we now have ... a solid block of Northeast states as members,” said coalition Chairman Frank Busalacchi in a prepared statement.
