Association of Oregon Rail and Transit Advocates (check out their NEW and vastly-improved website!)

Will you be connecting from the westbound Empire Builder to the southbound Coast Starlight in Portland on a Wednesday? Or will you be using Amtrak Cascades service in Portland on Wednesday afternoon? If so, stop in to room 253 at Portland Union Station every Wednesday afternoon (except holidays) from Noon to 1:00 PM to meet other Oregon rail passenger advocates who gather here each week! The purpose of AORTA is to encourage the development of a balanced and integrated system of transportation for people and freight within and beyond the State of Oregon, and to educate the public about the need for sustainable, fiscally responsible, environmentally sound transportation.
