I really wish I didn't have to drive/get picked up for the last leg of this trip. I'd love for @amtrak.com and Florida/Alabama to look into supporting Thruway buses to connect to the Mardi Gras. So many beautiful & popular places are within reach!

Suffice it to say, this proposal would be the opposite of what is needed for US transportation policy.
Federal transportation spending has been ineffective, inefficient, and bad for the environment. The Trump proposal would worsen those problems.

The Reauthorization of Federal Transportation Programs Offers Policymakers an Opportunity to Improve Effectiveness, Environmental Sustainability, and Access

In 2016, Amtrak ran an inspection train between NOLA and Jacksonville to check out the tracks and engage the public. Nearly a decade later and we now have two daily round trips between NOLA and Mobile. Hopefully service to FL can be brought back eventually!

Amtrak’s Mardi Gras Service is the result of over a decade of work an advocacy. Prior to Katrina, Amtrak’s thrice-weekly Sunset limited used to run all the way to Orlando. I rode it between Pensacola and Mobile as a kid !
