The Rail Passengers’ Association Scholarship

About RPA

The Rail Passengers’ Association is the nation’s oldest and largest rail-advocacy group, representing some 40 million American rail travelers, advocates and citizens across the U.S. who are working for better, safer and more widely available transit and city-to- city rail choices. They have worked since 1967 to expand the quality and quantity of passenger rail in the United States. RPA’s vision is for an expanded national network of passenger trains, putting 80% of Americans within 25 miles of a rail station within 25 years using a combination of high-speed/high-performance, long-distance intercity rail, commuter trains, light-rail and transit. RPA believes passengers should be able to drive, bike, walk or take transit to those stations as they choose, whether traveling for work, school or leisure.
