Support for High Speed Rail Along Empire Builder Route
We, the residents of Western Wisconsin, petition the Governor of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin State Legislature, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, United States Congress and the United States Department of Transportation to select, as the designated route for High Speed Rail, the existing service known as the Empire Builder Route (Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, Tomah, La Crosse/La Crescent, Winona, Red Wing, St. Paul). We hereby ask that a timeline for completion of High Speed Rail between Madison and La Crosse be articulated as soon as possible.

It would be so much better for everyone and extremely convenient for travelling :-)
for a large college community, it's a great idea
I will not return to live and work and raise my family in Wisconsin until we have high-speed rail and commuter services.
Get that high speed train for La Crosse, ppl there deserve it
Highly agree
ha
It would be SO convenient!
I would really be a huge improvement for my life.
Transit to other major cities would be tremendously beneficial for college students like myself. Bus transit is expensive so students without cars have to rely on others for carpooling. A consistent train schedule would be greatly utilized by students who wanted to get to major cites near their home towns, or to go to other cities for concerts or shopping on the weekends.
This would be so GREAT! Please keep the route going through La Crosse, which is a vital crossroads for the tri-state area of WI/MN/IA.
With many family members from the lacrosse arae living in Eau Claire gets difficult when we have to travel for the holiday season. Missed Christmas this year due to weather. Tram would be dependable!
I think the La Crosse route would enchance the vitality of Coulee Region.
As someone who travels to Chicago often I know the La Crosse route is the way to go.
It is time Wisconsin and the rest of the United States caught up with the rest of the world.
I would love to ride the train if it came through La Crosse. I'm always traveling to the twin cities and to madison,chicago, etc. and it sounds easier than driving through congested traffic all the time.

I look forward to being able to take a train rather than a plane or automobile.
Here's to a safer, more efficient method of travel.
LETS GO - WHAT TOOK SO LONG?!!!
As a college student without a car, the train was the only way I could get home to see my parents for short holidays like Thanksgiving or Easter.
This would be nice, I work in La Crosse, but live in Tomah, would save a lot of time and travel hassles.
Our company, LaCrosse Technology, would use a High Speed Rail service between 50 -70 trips per year. Allan McCormick
We,the people of La Crosse, are a Sustainable Community and fully approve and support High Speed Rail.
