Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The success of the Pacific Northwest Rail Corridor, also known as the Cascade Corridor, serving the states of Washington and Oregon as well as the Canadian province of British Columbia, is discussed. Starting with a vision shared by staff of the Washington State and Oregon departments of transportation, the 466-mile Pacific Northwest Rail Corridor has developed incrementally through partnerships, notably with Amtrak, technological innovations such as high-speed trains, and customer-oriented services. Significant increases in ridership, a burgeoning rail transit network, connecting bus services, as well as new and rebuilt stations, are part of the success story. Also discussed in this article are the budget challenges ahead.
