WKBT La Crosse, WI-NewsChannel 8-Wisconsin Public Interest Group makes push for high speed rail
Member Center:
Public transportation, such as a high speed rail route, is the wave of the future in Wisconsin. that's the message from the Wisconsin Student Public Interest Group or WIS-PIRG. Forty students joined state and local leaders at the Amtrak depot in La Crosse Thursday night to build support for the proposed high speed rail line.
Students say Wisconsin needs an updated transportation system that will relieve traffic congestion and be kinder to the environment. "We need a more convenient, more direct and faster way of traveling without the hassle of getting your car together and paying for rising gas prices," says Devin Trezise from WISPIRG.
The students have been traveling the proposed route of the high speed rail line, stopping in 10 cities from Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison and La Crosse.
