The final version of the year-long study of the feasibility of returning passenger rail service to the Yakima Valley and Stampede Pass is being released this week. All Aboard Washington advocated for this study, which was overseen by the Legislative Joint Transportation Committee. AAWA responded to the draft study earlier.
