Earlier this year, the Texas Department of Transportation asked the state legislature for $7.05 million in this year’s session to continue Heartland Flyer operations for the next two years. However, the legislature didn’t approve the funding before they ended their legislative calendar.  If that money is not secured, the passenger rail service between Dallas-Forth Worth to Oklahoma City will stop running October 1st.

This will lead to the loss of jobs, opportunities, accessibility, and an estimated $23.7M in economic benefits for Texas and Oklahoma.  It will also mean the end to future expansion into Kansas. 

We must fight back and deliver our message to the Governor's office: SAVE THE HEARTLAND FLYER!
