Passenger rail

Find information on how we manage trains in Washington and learn about train safety and the rules to remember when traveling by passenger rail.

Trains travel to 18 cities on the I-5 corridor between Vancouver, BC (Canada), Seattle, Portland and Eugene. Amtrak Cascades passenger trains are paid for primarily by ticket revenue, and by sponsorship from WSDOT and ODOT.

It is very important to stay away from railroad tracks. If you must cross tracks, only do so at designated crossings while following all the safety signage and rules.

Crash responders keep our roads safe.

Each year, they clear more than 6 million crashes and remove stalled vehicles, debris, and other hazards.

Slow down, move over - it's the law.

When approaching a work or response vehicle with flashing lights, move over a lane or slow down to at least 10 mph below the posted speed limit.

Their safety starts with you!

Nationally, nearly every week a responder is killed while clearing a roadway. Slow down and move over to keep our crews safe.
