Reconnecting America is a national organization formed to link transportation networks and the communities they serve. It grows out of the work of the Great American Station Foundation, which was formed in 1995 to assist communities with the revitalization of historic rail stations as a way to both improve transportation services and bring life back to downtowns. We found these station projects have tremendous power to link transportation to community revitalization, and are often the first step toward building transit-oriented towns. Bringing different transportation providers together unlocks vital synergies in the transportation system, increasing customer choice and building stronger local economies. WEBSITE »
