Our Goal

Our goal is to build a transportation network that will allow anyone to get where they need to gowork, school, medical care, family and friends – even if they don’t use a car. Non-drivers are a large and increasing fraction of the population, including the young, the old, the disabled, the poor, and those who are concerned about the planet’s future.

We have created All Aboard Northwest (AANW), a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, to achieve this goal. AANW operates in the Greater Northwest region, extending from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Northwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington and Oregon). We are dedicated to improving the region’s quality of life by supplementing and strengthening existing state and national rail advocacy organizations.
