Returning Passenger Trains to a Station Near You: Why and How

2022 Train Trek in Yakima, WA
Friday, August 26, 10:00 am

Whether you're concerned about the environment, job creation or ease of travel, expansion of rail will bring significant benefits to the Pacific NW. Ultra high speed rail from Vancouver, BC to Portland, OR is only one part of the rail network that we need. We can take advantage of the current massive investment from the Federal Government into passenger rail to build a seamless region-wide rail service.

Join representatives from AANW to discuss how the federal funding available for rail transportation can provide:

• Opportunities to share our priorities through the Corridor Identification Program
• Opportunities to collaborate across state lines through Interstate Rail Compacts
• Information from the Federal Railroad Administration’s upcoming studies of previous passenger rail routes, and potential new ones.
