Other Projects RAIL would like to take on in the future: -Developing an effective means of transportation for the citizens of southern West Virginia to local metropolitan areas. Currently the nearest metropolitan area is almost 30 miles away. The average commute for a Wyoming County resident to work is 35.5 minutes, 30% higher than the national average. This is not only devastating to the environment, but also drastically limits mobility and access to employment and resources for the community. RAIL hopes to develop a bus system that runs from the MOC to nearby commercial areas for citizens of Wyoming County -Creating a Healthy Lives voucher system for members of the community to have access to a fitness center if they cannot afford a membership. -Creating a book distribution program for children in the community. Books are a means to escape and dream for individuals with out the resources to travel. This program will unleash the imagination of children in the community and increase interest in literacy and education.
With your help the Rural Appalachian Improvement League is on the way to developing programs that will alleviate then destroy poverty in southern West Virginia!
