All Aboard Washington regrets that these two upcoming events have been postponed for the protection of our guests and speakers:
Central Washington Passenger Rail Summit, Yakima, March 14
Rail Passengers NW Meeting, Tacoma, April 18
We have been monitoring the coronavirus / COVID-19 situation closely. Governor Inslee has instituted a temporary ban on events such as these, and many employers are prohibiting their employees from traveling. As a result, many of the scheduled speakers will be unable to attend on the original dates.
We will update you with information about when the meetings will be rescheduled. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

"On behalf of Amtrak’s onboard service staff, I want to thank the Rail Passengers Association for honoring their hard work with this award. The past couple years have indeed been difficult for Amtrak onboard service staff – coping with furloughs and job insecurity, adapting to changing protocols and services, not to mention the unfortunate events such as a tragic derailment and a fatal shooting. Nevertheless, our dedicated members at Amtrak have handled these hurdles with the care, attention and diligence for which they’re known. We thank Rail Passengers for their acknowledgement of our members’ hard work and, as always, look forward to seeing you on the rails."
Arthur Maratea, TCU/IAM National President
