TRAC Train Riders' Association of California - Publishers of California Rail News
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The Train Riders Association of California (TRAC) was founded in March of 1984 as a citizen lobby and later incorporated as a California 501 (c)4 non-profit Corporation by founders Roger Hooson, Erik Lange, Dan Lovegren and Richard Tolmach. TRAC’s subsequent activism and interest in various rail-related legislative proposals lead to an early alliance with the Planning and Conservation League (PCL), that had been separately promoting passenger train service as part of its own program. The two organizations were convinced that because of the congestion, sprawl and increasing environmental degradation being caused by the State Government’s over-commitment to roadway travel, Californians would welcome and support a program designed to improve California’s system of passenger trains.
