Good morning, Oregon City.
Leaders in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia began planning the Cascadia High-Speed Rail in 2016 to reduce travel time between Portland and Seattle to one hour—an effort that received $55 million in December 2024 for a four-year study of routes, funding, and challenges.
Officials estimate the project could cost up to $42 billion and boost the economy with 200,000 new construction jobs, although some critics doubt it will ever be built.
