About

PNWER's Transportation working group focuses on the infrastructure of our major corridors and gateways, with a special interest on border infrastructure. 

The PNWER Regional Infrastructure Accelerator (RIA) is a U.S. Department of Transportation Build America Bureau funded grant program that helps to accelerate infrastructure project delivery through provision of technical assistance and identification of innovative financing solutions.

The PNWER RIA serves as a convener for transportation projects in the Pacific Northwest, with specific focus on multistate and multi-jurisdictional initiatives that advance resilient supply chains, connect urban and rural communities and accelerate economic growth.
PNWER's RIA Program

Cascade Gateway Bi-National Rail Group

PNWER is partnering with WSDOT to explore short and long-term railroad actions that will improve the performance of the Amtrak Cascades and explore future additional daily service to and from British Columbia.
