Abe Zumwalt of National Association of Railroad Passengers
NARP: Building Consensus For Passenger Rail
Abe Zumwalt will describe how the National Association of Railroad Passengers (NARP) built a strong bipartisan coalition in the face of distinctly partisan threats to American intercity passenger rail service, and the changing near-term future of effective advocacy for rail transit, involving players one might not expect.
Biography:
Abe Zumwalt is NARP's Director of Policy Research. He received B.A. degrees in Economics and in French from Knox College (Galesburg IL) in 2011. In addition to wearing the many hats running a small not-for-profit advocacy group entails, Abe generally consults on elements of NARP's programmatic efforts concerning regional transit and station area developments and conducts literature reviews of current academic studies concerning the impacts of intercity transit, especially in the field of economics. Last, but not least, he practices what he preaches: gaining familiarity with different practices in intercity transit operation through first-hand experience.
