Arizona Rail Passenger Association

A Resolution of the ARPA Board of Directors, approved 2009-1-17.

On behalf of the Members of the Association the the Citizens of Arizona, ARPA opposes and finds it unacceptable to interrupt regularly scheduled rail service for marathons, parades, or similar events which transit should serve.

These events must be routed to permit regular rail operation.

(On 18 January, METRO rail service was truncated north of the McDowell station for a marathon until at least 10am — inconvenicing passengers and disabling anyone from using METRO to travel to the event.)
