Resolution
The Virginia Association of Railway Patrons, a nonprofit volunteer group advocating better train service in Virginia and West Virginia, asks [municipality name] to join other communities in asking the federal government to make Amtrak’s Washington-Chicago Cardinal a daily train, signing this or a similar resolution:
[Municipality name] asks Congress to direct Amtrak to run its Washington-Chicago Cardinal train daily and make sure that Amtrak has the operating funds, locomotives, and passenger cars to do so.
The train serves 11 states and Washington, DC. It provides interstate transportation and therefore is a federal responsibility. It is the only passenger train serving [municipality name]. Daily, reliable operation of the Cardinal would not only improve the transportation choices for people in [municipality name], it would assist our economy by making [municipality name] more accessible to people living in other places on the Cardinal route and on connecting lines. 
[Municipality name] looks forward to congressional action in bringing this transportation improvement to our people.
