State Senator Margo Juarez of Omaha (District 5) is collecting Nebraska’s sentiment regarding passenger rail to inform Legislative Resolution 203 (LR203), a resolution to further conduct an interim study to evaluate the existing passenger rail infrastructure in Nebraska on behalf of the Legislature's Transportation and Telecommunication Committee. Senator Juarez is working with ProRail Nebraska to gather public opinion at a series of five town halls held across the state and is hosting an online survey on PollTheVote.com, a platform made by and for Nebraskans.
“Transportation is a priority in our state, and I’m disappointed in the lack of progress we’ve made. The streetcar coming to Omaha is exciting, but it’s only the beginning. I want communities across Nebraska to see what a great asset passenger rail can be. I once got on a train from the airport to my destination or just $1.25. That kind of reliability and affordability should be available to everyone in Nebraska,” Senator Juarez said in a recent interview.
