The voices of Maine's largest municipalities, the economic pillars of our great state—Portland, Lewiston, Auburn, Waterville, and Bangor—are united and resounding in their call for progress. These vibrant communities, each with its unique character and contributions, understand the transformative power that LD 860 holds for the entire state.
From the bustling streets of Portland to the rich history of Lewiston-Auburn, the scenic landscapes of Waterville, and the thriving heartbeat of Bangor, these cities collectively urge the state Legislature to pass LD 860 and work to get Amtrak into Central Maine.
Recognizing the interconnectedness of our economies, these municipalities stand together, emphasizing the vital importance of a comprehensive, multimodal transportation system for the prosperity and sustainable future of Maine. It is a collective demand for connectivity, accessibility, and a greener tomorrow that resonates from the southernmost reaches of our state to the northernmost corners.
Multimodal transportation will be good for our environment, economy and society as a whole.
