“I think it’s going to take a lot of collaboration within industry, between industry and government to kind of share these lessons learned and best practices so that everybody can evolve and learn, and bring this technology to market,” said Michael Shapiro, deputy assistant secretary for economic policy at the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Amtrak has cut a major $7.3 billion deal with Siemens Mobility, a Germany-based manufacturer, to produce 83 trainsets at its Sacramento, California plant. The contract will rejuvenate the aging national passenger railroad company with modern equipment, replacing nearly 40% of the fleet by the early 2030s. A portion of the new trainsets will be coming to the Pacific Northwest and operate on Amtrak Cascades. Alongside this, Amtrak will invest $2 billion to improve facilities throughout the system.
In April, Amtrak announced that it had selected Siemens as the winning bidder to produce new trainsets, but had not yet finalized a contract nor disclosed the trainset model to be procured. However, Amtrak’s announcement this week confirms that the Siemens Venture series trainsets are to be purchased. This model is already owned and operated by Brightline in Florida and several state-supported Amtrak contractors, including the San Joaquins (California) and Hiawatha (Illinois and Wisconsin)
Toll rate increases planned for Seattle tunnel, Tacoma Narrows Bridge

SEATTLE Drivers will likely soon pay more to use the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and the Highway 99 tunnel in Seattle.
The Washington State Transportation Commission, which sets toll rates, is finalizing a plan to increase tolls on the two roads.
There are a pair of tolling proposals for the Seattle tunnel, both of which would take effect in October.
One option is a 15% toll increase for all rates at all times of the day. That would cost drivers between 15 and 35 cents more than what they currently pay. The second scenario is a 25-cent toll increase for all rates at all times of the day.
