ABOUT US
Welcome to the
Northern Flyer Alliance
The Northern Flyer Alliance is a group of 49 cities, 6 counties and 19 Chambers of Commerce along the I-35 corridor stretching from Kansas City to Fort Worth that have joined together to promote the reintroduction of passenger rail in their communities and the Tri-State Region that includes Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Including civic organizations, a total of more than 88 resolutions in favor of this initiative have been collected by the NFA.
Our Mission
The Northern Flyer Alliance, Inc. is dedicated to advocating for the development and implementation of passenger rail initiatives within the Tri-State Region.

By engaging with communities, government agencies, and stakeholders we work to drive the reintroduction of passenger rail. This website is a great space to provide more insight into the specific initiatives we are leading and the impact we aim to create in the region.
