Today, a letter signed by more than 40 businesses, labor unions, community organizations, and elected officials, was sent to legislators urging their support to include funding for the Cascadia Ultra-High-Speed Ground Transportation Project in a transportation investment package.
This transformative infrastructure project is a key element of the Cascadia Innovation Corridor initiative, an initiative borne from and supported by stakeholders in the private and public sectors, as an economic and sustainability priority for the Cascadia region.
Our region is projected to grow by 3 to 4 million more people by 2050. How we accommodate this growth will determine whether we can maintain a sustainable region, promote equity, and preserve the quality of life we enjoy in the Pacific Northwest. Sustainability means access to affordable housing, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and true mobility – mobility that doesn’t result in spending hours sitting in congestion. Ultra-high-speed ground transportation will help meet these important goals.
