National Association of Railroad Passengers

The National Association of Railroad Passengers (NARP), now operating under the public identity Rail Passengers Association (RPA), is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for passenger rail in the United States. Founded on May 18, 1967, it was established primarily to lobby for the continuation of passenger trains in America amid concerns of diminishing rail services[1][2].

Purpose and Mission

The mission of NARP/RPA is to ensure a modern, customer-focused national passenger train network that offers Americans a desirable travel choice. This includes advocating for expanded intercity passenger train networks, improved connectivity with other modes of transportation, and enhanced high-speed rail initiatives[3][4].

Activities and Impact

NARP/RPA has been instrumental in promoting the quality and quantity of passenger rail services across the U.S. The organization works closely with legislative bodies to educate policymakers about the benefits of passenger rail. It publishes a newsletter to keep members informed about developments in the passenger rail sector[1][3].

Governance and Membership

NARP/RPA is managed by a volunteer Council of Representatives, which is responsible for electing the Board of Directors. The organization has around 28,000 members nationwide. These members benefit from discounts on rail fares, access to exclusive content, and opportunities to contribute to shaping the country's rail systems[3][4].

Benefits to Members

Members of NARP/RPA enjoy various benefits, including Amtrak rail fare discounts (up to 10% and additional discounts on select regional railways) and access to travel deals. Members also receive a newsletter and other exclusive content[4][5].
