On July 31, 2024, members of the Rail Can't Wait Campaign, delivered a briefing on how we can achieve Fast, Reliable Amtrak Service in Washington/Oregon by 2030-2035.  Sponsoring organizations included Solutionary Rail, Climate Rail Alliance, 350Seattle, and Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility.

Sign Up to join this movement for better rail in our region.

Rail Can’t Wait is a campaign initiated in 2021 by organizations across the political spectrum who advocate for rapid mode shift to freight and passenger rail by 2030 and soon after, in order to take full advantage of rail’s low emissions and energy efficiency.
