About Us

The Michigan Association of Railroad Passengers, Inc. (MARP) is the largest and oldest passenger train advocacy group in Michigan. We have been working for a viable and balanced approach to transportation since 1973.

(MARP) was established as a consumer advocacy group to:
• improve intercity rail and bus passenger service,
• improve local transit service,
• and encourage the preservation of historic railroad stations.
