In the vast stretch between Texas and Kansas lies a gap, not in geography, but in mobility. The Northern Flyer Alliance (NFA) is working tirelessly to fill that transportation desert. As a regional advocacy organization, NFA’s mission is clear: to reinstate passenger rail service along the I-35 corridor, specifically extending Amtrak’s Heartland Flyer north from Oklahoma City into Kansas, while uniting communities in a shared vision of economic growth, accessibility, and connectivity.
And this is bigger than one corridor. Across the Midwest, organizations like NFA and All Aboard Ohio represent something far more powerful than local projects… they build the backbone of a truly connected region.
