We want to support All Aboard Carolinas to be simple and straightforward.
Whether you are joining for the first time or renewing your support, your membership helps strengthen passenger rail advocacy across North Carolina and South Carolina.
When joining or renewing, we may ask for a few additional details, such as your city, state, and base Amtrak station, if you have one. This helps us better understand where support is growing and how passenger rail advocacy is represented across the Carolinas.

Additional donation

Helpful details when joining
City, state, and base Amtrak station if applicable, so AAC can better understand geographic representation across the region.
WHY MEMBERSHIP MATTERS
Stronger advocacy starts with broader regional support.
One of AAC’s goals is to continue growing membership in communities served by Amtrak and in other towns and cities that care about the future of rail in the Carolinas.
Knowing where members live — and which station they consider their base station, when applicable — helps demonstrate geographic support for passenger rail and strengthens AAC’s ability to advocate with agencies, elected officials, and planning organizations in both states.
