Amtrak cascades are rolling out new Airo train sets

I was on a sold-out older train, so it’s great to have modern trains with full capacity so more people in the NW can ride

But there’s little effort from #orleg to improve speed, increase service, or expand the network

The state needs a decisive transit plan to cut carbon emissions but it seems to be doing the opposite

The largest ODOT projects will both expand highways and cost 3.5 & 15.5+ billion dollars

These costs WILL limit road maintenance funding & prevent transit projects

Riding Portland’s rail system was really nice, and in this time of climate change and rising gas prices, more money should be invested in transit, not less

Unfortunately since the state failed the transportation package, TriMet has been forced to cut service

Some follow up on the Oregon transportation survey. While its not an exact comparison to the actual ODOT budget, it’s clear people want the state to prioritize and spend more money on road maintenance and on reliable transit

8600+ Oregonians took the Governor's survey on what they want to see in a future transportation package.

What a surprise! People want to fix the damn roads, expand transit service and build safer streets.

Oregonians are not clamoring for ODOT to spend billions on freeway expansions. #orleg #orpol

8 years ago there was a formal “Joint Committee on Carbon Reduction” that met 7 times in public. This workgroup of 10 lawmakers is meeting behind closed doors, with no public participation or transparency. #orleg
