  • 2017 Report on Rail Passenger Agreements, Service Performance and Finance
    2017 Report on Rail Passenger Agreements, Service Performance and Finance Chapter 112, 2013 Oregon Laws (Enrolled House Bill 2918) authorized the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to enter into agreements with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (BCMoTI) to effectively manage the development and operation of passenger rail services within the Cascades Rail Corridor (Corridor) which is between Eugene, Oregon and Vancouver, British Columbia. Under the measure, the agreements may be to: Develop a plan to document the shared vision, goals, and objectives for passenger rail service within the Corridor. Develop a plan to achieve performance goals, manage fleet assets, share costs, prioritize investments and resolve interagency disputes. Propose funding options to the respective legislative bodies to support the operation of passenger trains within the Corridor. Develop a stakeholder outreach program. Oversee operations and marketing of daily passenger rail service in the Corridor. Coordinate state rail plans.

  • Oregon Electric Or Union Pacific?
    Oregon’s Amtrak Cascades Future Alignment: Oregon Electric or Union Pacific? Draft Commentary Introduction In June 2009 the Rail Division of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Parsons Brinckerhoff issued a draft “ODOT Intercity Passenger Rail Study.” The Study purports to evaluate “the feasibility of moving Portland-to-Eugene intercity service from the current Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) mainline to a somewhat parallel rail route known as the Oregon Electric (OE) alignment.” AORTA (Association of Oregon Rail and Transit Advocates) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization seeking to educate decision-makers and the public about the need for and advantages of safe, efficient, environmentally responsible transportation since 1976. AORTA promotes increased reliance upon rail for both passengers and freight, and improved public transportation. Its board and membership include persons with extensive knowledge and professional expertise in transportation planning and operations. AORTA has been involved for many years in the state’s rail planning efforts and is familiar with both the UPRR and the OE branch line of the Portland & Western Railroad. AORTA contends the conclusions and cost estimates of ODOT’s June 2009 Draft Rail Study are not credible. This is, in part, because some of the assumptions were incorrect. AORTA believes the UPRR alignment, a corridor the state has invested in and engaged in extensive planning, is the reasonable corridor and that the cost of moving to the OE far exceeds the estimates published in the Study. Furthermore, the impact of moving to the OE would result in profound social, community and environmental damage that are not easily mitigated.

  • All Aboard (Except People with Disabilities): Amtrak's 23 Years of ADA Compliance Failure
    All Aboard (Except People with Disabilities) Amtrak’s 23 Years of ADA Compliance Failure October 2013 www.ndrn.org NDRN is the nonprofit membership organization for the federally mandated Protection and Advocacy (P&A) Systems and Client Assistance Programs (CAP). Collectively, the P&A/CAP network is the largest provider of legally based advocacy services to people with disabilities in the United States. Cover photo courtesy of the Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program Page | 2 National Disability Rights Network www.ndrn.org A Letter from the Executive Director Dear Friends, Transportation is the linchpin of community integration. Without it, many people with disabilities cannot go to work, go shopping, visit their friends and family, or accomplish many of the day-to- day tasks necessary to live in the community. Unfortunately, progress in providing accessible transportation has been slow and has required legislation and tireless and consistent advocacy. Critical pieces of federal legislation such as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Air Carrier Access Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, were necessary to start the process of breaking down the barriers to buses, trains and airplanes so that people with disabilities could use these sources of transportation daily. While many transportation providers around the country have shown that it is possible to provide accessible services for people with disabilities, one carrier – the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, or Amtrak – has lagged far behind. People with disabilities who travel on Amtrak have faced numerous barriers to using Amtrak. Some have faced inaccessible trains, others have been unable to purchase tickets to their destinations because the platforms and stations were inaccessible, and some have had to disembark at a station that was not their ultimate destination just so they could get off the train or out of the station.

  • Draft Environmental Impact Statement
    Tier 1 Draft Environmental Impact Statement Prepared by October 2018 This page intentionally left blank. This page intentionally left blank. Executive Summary The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) prepared this Tier 1 environmental impact statement (EIS) to evaluate improved Amtrak Cascades intercity passenger rail service alternatives for the Oregon Passenger Rail Project (OPR Project). The OPR Project examines an approximately 125-mile segment of the Federally designated Pacific Northwest Rail Corridor (PNWRC) from the Eugene-Springfield urban area to Portland. In addition to this EIS, ODOT is preparing a Service Development Plan (SDP) for the corridor to guide further development and capital investment in passenger rail improvements. The PNWRC has been the subject of intercity passenger rail planning, development and operation for more than 30 years. The PNWRC is one of 11 Federally designated high-speed rail corridors in the United States. FRA designated this passenger rail corridor on October 20, 1992, as one of five original corridors called for in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The 466-mile PNWRC serves the most densely populated regions of British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. It links Vancouver, British Columbia, Seattle, Washington, and Portland and Eugene, Oregon, with growing intermediate communities (including the capital cities of Salem, Oregon, and Olympia, Washington). Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway owns the existing PNWRC railroad infrastructure in Washington, in British Columbia, and in Oregon north of Portland’s Union Station. Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) owns the existing PNWRC railroad infrastructure in Oregon south of Portland’s Union Station.
