All Aboard Washington regrets that these two upcoming events have been postponed for the protection of our guests and speakers:
Central Washington Passenger Rail Summit, Yakima, March 14
Rail Passengers NW Meeting, Tacoma, April 18
We have been monitoring the coronavirus / COVID-19 situation closely. Governor Inslee has instituted a temporary ban on events such as these, and many employers are prohibiting their employees from traveling. As a result, many of the scheduled speakers will be unable to attend on the original dates.
We will update you with information about when the meetings will be rescheduled. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

"It is an honor to be recognized by the Rail Passengers Association for my efforts to strengthen and expand America’s passenger rail. Golden spikes were once used by railroads to mark the completion of important rail projects, so I am truly grateful to receive the Golden Spike Award as a way to mark the end of a career that I’ve spent fighting to invest in our country’s rail system. As Chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, it has been my priority to bolster funding for Amtrak, increase and expand routes, look to the future by supporting high-speed projects, and improve safety, culminating in $66 billion in new funding in the Bipartisan infrastructure Law."
