We're in the midst of a whole lot of change and uncertainty.
In a time when many are tightening budgets due to economic, administrative, and policy shifts, investing in safer rail communities and stronger infrastructure gains heightened importance. Railtowns seeks to be your results-driven partner—focused on benefitting both communities and industry.
In our first year Railtowns has already begun to bring communities, railroads, and solution providers together to tackle infrastructure challenges with both near-term and lasting solutions. Whether sharing developments in grade crossing safety, conveying the promise of Transit Oriented Design, or helping communities find vital funding, we're here to make a difference.
We're...
Helping communities clarify and address rail infrastructure challenges across the country.
Connecting local leaders with tools and sources of funding for safer and stronger rail integration.
Engaging with leaders of industry and community to begin reducing risks and boosting efficiency through collaboration, not conflict.
But even as an all-volunteer organization, these efforts require funding. We depend on the support of our partners and sponsors to keep making a difference. Your contributions directly fund the development of resources and initiatives that keep rail communities safe and thriving. (Our first quick reference for Rail Emergency Services is coming soon!)
Right now, almost anyone can sponsor their community for just $99 through 2025. This sponsorship not only supports your town but also unlocks matching funds from our anonymous Class 1 donor—enabling free membership for a qualifying community in need.
Here are a few of our latest sponsors:
RailPros sponsored their hometown railtown, Irving, TX
Master Spas sponsored their hometown, Fort Wayne, IN
Rocky Mountaineer sponsored two of the cities along their Rockies to the Red Rocks rail tour, Glenwood, CO and Moab, UT
