2022 Train Trek
Over eighteen days in August 2022, All Aboard Northwest traveled through the Greater Northwest to gather support for restoring the Pioneer, the North Coast Hiawatha, and other passenger train services.
We completed the All Aboard Northwest 2022 Train Trek community outreach efforts in August, and they were very successful. We traveled around the region to discuss the benefits of passenger rail with local communities, and received public feedback on how we can best work together to improve our transportation system.
We met with many elected officials and community leaders, all of whom were anxious to work with us. In addition, Train Trek events were covered by the press in small towns, large cities, and by the Western Governors' Association: Best of the West: Regional investments in trains
