CEO Council Leads Business Alliance Effort to Promote Stable Funding for Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor

Through an initiative of the CEO Council for Growth, the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce is joining a coalition of influential business and civic organizations from Portland, Maine to Richmond, Virginia in support of stable Amtrak funding.

Tomorrow, the Business Alliance for Northeast Mobility will hold a forum to discuss critical long-term economic, mobility and environmental benefits that can be realized by expanding Amtrak services along the Northeast Corridor through consistent funding.

U.S. Senators Tom Carper, Arlen Specter and Frank Lautenberg as well as U.S. Representatives from our region, along with members of the U.S. Senate and House representing the Northeastern United States, have been invited to attend this forum along with Amtrak President and CEO Alex Kummant.
