I received this a couple days ago from WADOT and thought I would pass it on.

Help shape the future of Amtrak Cascades

WSDOT is finalizing its Preliminary Amtrak Cascades Service Development
Plan (SDP) to create a blueprint for improving Amtrak Cascades service over
the next two decades. We are seeking your feedback on this plan before it
is completed and submitted to the Federal Railroad Administration.

This preliminary plan includes several service options for the passenger
trains that serve stations from Vancouver, British Columbia to Portland,
Oregon. The preliminary alternatives outlined in the plan include concepts
that increase the number of trains, possibly running at higher speeds, with
the potential for some express service with limited stops. Each option also
includes an initial list of infrastructure projects necessary to operate
the additional trains, such as construction of additional track, new
sidings, and new or additional bridges.

Here is how you can be involved:

   1. *Review the Preliminary Service Development online – *submit your
   comments by April 18, 2024.

The plan and its appendices can be found on the WSDOT website at:
