Maria Cantwell: “I would just say no one is proposing these East/West pipelines.”

We need to stop stealing money out of college [and] university institutions for education, for tuition, for professors, and putting it into an arms race on sports.

The state-of-the-art Airo trainsets replace much older cars, making travel on Amtrak’s Cascades route more convenient, accessible, and reliable for riders across the Pacific Northwest.

Federal investment in our light rail system pays dividends in driving local economies and helping residents reach jobs, education, healthcare, and other essential services across the region.

The Airos also have nearly twice as many seats, helping to meet growing demand on this routinely sold-out route.
