RAIL Solution is a grassroots advocacy group with over 1200 individual participants and a coalition of allied organizations. We emphasize balanced transportation planning, with a leading role for railroads. The time has passed when every problem of congestion and growth can be solved with more lanes of highway. Proper, balanced transportation decisions are vital to preserving the natural environment, ensuring our quality of life, and providing sustainable economic opportunity for Virginia and the nation. We promote railroads as a safe, clean, efficient carrier of freight and people, and this long-term vision â€" employ faster, upgraded rail service in concert with targeted highway improvements. This combination ensures the well-being of the citizens and businesses of Valley of Virginia and Southwest Virginia. Our transportation plan promotes public health and safety while preserving the financial, environmental, and cultural integrity of our homes, farms, businesses, and communities.
