      FRIDAY FORUM: Get Onboard - The Future of Intercity Rail in the Pacific Northwest
      Intercity rail is the hot topic in transportation these days. With the federal government making a significant investment in highspeed rail ($8 billion as part of the federal stimulus package), Amtrak
      Cascades is well positioned to receive a portion of these dollars   The discussion will focus on the state of intercity passenger rail in the Northwest and opportunities for future rail expansion.   Could 110+ mph rail between Seattle and Portland be in the foreseeable future?  What can you do advocate for high speed rail in the Northwest?  Join our discussion and find out!
