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.
"The COVID Pandemic has been and continues to be the biggest challenge faced by Americans as it has taken a deadly toll on the world and on the world’s economies. During COVID Locomotive Engineers at Amtrak and other Passenger and Freight Railroads have embodied the definition of essential workers. This dedication by our members is not new. We applaud the Rail Passenger’s Association for recognizing the vital contributions of our members and their hard work moving Americans and freight during the COVID pandemic."
