Nobody wants a new airport. If we build #HighSpeedRail to connect our cities in the Cascadia corridor, we'll free up enough capacity at our existing airports that we won't need to build another one. Big environmental win, and protects our precious farmland too. @CascadiaRail

“An electric car takes 9 years to offset the carbon impact of its production,” he told delegates. The average lifetime of cars and vans is a little over 11 years. There🚆must🚆be🚆a🚆better🚆way.🚆

@seattletimes There's dozens of short range flights @flySEA to places like Yakima & PDX. Instead of another airport, study #HighSpeedRail to get rid of most of these short-haul flights and add more capacity for the longer routes that can only be reached by air. @GovInslee @CascadiaRail

We can invest in high speed rail while improving the system we currently have. Under #BIL, we’re preparing American passenger rail for the future.

Did you know? Car crashes cost Washington State $16.5 BILLION annually. That’s 4X the amount of the annual state transportation budget.🤯 (Learnings from @WSDOT leader Roger Millar at #APTAtransform22.)

Gentle reminder to railfans who are sharing the link to the NYT HSR piece: clicking on the link drives engagements, which measures popularity of an article, which encourages more misinformation articles.

A view of King Street Station this morning for our first trip to restart train service to Vancouver BC and to all stations north of Seattle. It's been way too long. We've missed you! <3

How fast is our top design speed of 220mph? The average football field with no end zones is 300 feet. Travelling at 220mph equals 1,161,600 feet in an hour or 322 feet a second. Our trains will travel the length of a football field every second at top speed! #FactFriday

We are always thinking of the wider transportation future. Today we were imagining a 30 minute commute from the #MVLC to Seattle on @CascadiaRail. So we used @OpenAI #dalle2 to draw us high speed rail train flying across the Skagit Valley. Well played computer, well played.
