<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
Northern Flyer Alliance (NFA) is pleased to announce the passage of House
Concurrent Resolution HCR1030. The NFA would like to recognize Senator John
Sparks and Represetative Scott Martin, both from Norman, for their bi-partisan
authorship of this legislation. The NFA also recognizes the leadership shown by
Senators David Myers, Constance Johnson, and Representatives Charlie Joyner,
and Ken Luttrell for their co-authorship. NFA Government Affairs Director Bob
Kemper was instrumental working this legislation throughout the session.<br>
<br>
HCR1030 recognizes the State of Kansas, the Kansas Department of
Transportation, and Amtrak for their work on the Kansas Feasibility study. The
concurrent resolution was filed May 14 with the Oklahoma Secretary of State.
Progress continues toward the NFA goal of connecting the Dallas-Fort Worth area
with Kansas City. The resolution is intended to 'grease the skids' toward a
tough funding battle next year. Resolution text is shown below.<br>
<br>
Much work remains. The Kansas Amtrak Feasibility Study will hopefully be
released in September. This will signal an aggressive campaign, leading up to
dovetailed Oklahoma - Kansas funding legislation. NFA leadership has already
begun working on suggested Kansas and Oklahoma legislation. The NFA encourages
Amtrak to finish their study work in a timely fashion in order that Kansas and
Oklahoma can secure federal stimulus funding for the project.<br>
<br>
The Heartland Flyer, currently operating only between Oklahoma City and Fort
Worth, is seen as a prime expansion candidate due to its popularity. A growing
need for optional, climbing gasoline prices, now well over $2.00 a gallon in
the region, need for economic development, and growing environmental concerns
emphasize the need for additional Amtrak service in the region. <br>
<br>
Economically connecting small to large communities with the Kansas City,
Wichita, Oklahoma City, and Dallas Fort Worth is seen by the Northern Flyer
Alliance as part-and-parcel of the Federal stimulus act.
"Transportation provides basic economic connections. Their importance
should not be underestimated," commented Evan Stair, NFA, Oklahoma
Vice - President. Stair continued, "Ask anyone about the value
of interstate 35. We see economic opportunity riding on this rail corridor and
the on route supportive communities agree." The NFA has secured over
70 resolutions of support from on route and potentially on route communities
since late 2007. <br>
