Dear Director Marchbanks:
We, the citizens of Ohio's 13th Congressional District, write in strong support of the inclusion of a new Amtrak stop within the Akron-Canton region as part of the 3C+D Corridor plan.
With every signature collected, we voice our shared belief in the
transformative power of accessible rail transport. For too long, our community
has been isolated, disconnected from the broader network of travel options and
opportunities. An Amtrak stop within Ohio’s 13th Congressional
District wouldn’t only create convenience; it would create opportunities –
economic growth, tourism, and strengthened ties with towns across Ohio. As
hardworking Ohioans, we see the potential for growth and connection, and we’re
determined to achieve this goal. We believe that everyone deserves access to
reliable and affordable transportation options in their communities.
We express our support for this effort and urge you to consider the value that investing in passenger rail expansion in Ohio's 13th Congressional District would bring to expand opportunities, boost local economies, and create more good-paying jobs throughout our great State.
Sincerely,
*Note: Signing this letter means you'll receive updates from Rep. Sykes' office via phone, email, and text.
