- Safety – substantial investments have been made in Oregon’s rail network particularly improving safety. Local legislators and opinion leaders have worked closely with providers to improve safety.
- Agriculture – Freight mobility and rail are vital for Oregon’s agriculture sector. The WA Farm Bureau has been a key partner for us and we would definitely look to engage the Oregon Farm Bureau in this discussion.
- Efficiency – each train removes 288 semi-trucks from the roadways improving efficiency and safety. Additionally, trains produce far fewer greenhouse gases with new highly efficient locomotives that are coming online.
