Sample Letter
Elected Official
State of Illinois
Springfield, IL 62706
Dear Elected Official,
Please include funding for the "Illinois Fast Track Initiative" in your FY2008 capital budget.
Traffic congestion and ever increasing fuel prices are making my trips in Illinois
unpleasant and unproductive. I
want to travel by train. Others agree with me, as Amtrak ridership is up by double digits throughout the state.
But two or three trains a day is not enough.
We need to begin a program of steady improvements on all Illinois routes.
Thank you for considering my request.
Sincerely,
|
