What is "onboardmidwest"

OnBoardMidwest is a Minnesota-based special interest group that advocates the development of a High Speed Rail system connecting Saint Paul, Minnesota and Chicago, Illinois. The group endeavors to garner the support of High-speed Rail advocates across the Midwest in an effort to secure federal funding for the project under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which has allocated $8 billion for passenger railways including high speed rail.
