Re: Remarks on House bills 5769 & 5770 for Today’s Committee Hearing

The Michigan Association of Railroad Passengers (MARP) supports both House bills 5769 & 5770 to allow
the State of Michigan to be able to provide matching grant money for the multiple Federal grants that are
included in the Federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Successful grant applications will help fund
the planning and startup costs for Michigan centric intercity and regional rail service in Michigan.

MARP envisions a future where public transit of all forms integrate with each other to provide our citizens
with seamless options to use multimodal transit (trains, planes, and buses) to complete their trips. We need
to catch up to other states with much more robust transit systems if we are to improve our economic future.

Sincerely,




STEVE VAGNOZZI
