Extend the South Shore Line Rail Passenger Service

To:  Elected Officials

Citizens for the Extension of the South Shore Line (www.CESSL.org)


We do hereby petition our elected officials to act to extend the South Shore Line Rail Passenger Service of Northwest Indiana south to Lowell and southeast to Valparaiso.

The extension of the South Shore Line bears numerous benefits, all of which will ultimately be beneficial to the Northwest Indiana region as a whole. Economic development, quality of life, and environmental concerns are at the top of the list. Rising fuel costs, increased congestion on existing thoroughfares, concerns over green house gasses, global warming and the health concerns that accompany increased emissions all raise red flags, signaling a need for improvement in public transportation. Finally, and maybe more importantly, the extension of the South Shore line will help to make Northwest Indiana a more attractive place for families and professionals to relocate, for businesses to establish, and for tourists to visit and enjoy.

Please act within your means to ensure that the South Shore Line receives the funding it needs to extend.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
