Want a bullet train from Seattle to Portland? Here's your chance to weigh in

A bullet train whisking passengers from Seattle to Portland or Vancouver, B.C., in about an hour may be a distant dream, but Washington transportation officials want your help shaping it. Why it matters: The proposed high-speed rail system could transform travel along the increasingly congested Interstate 5 corridor, offering an alternative to driving or flying between the Pacific Northwest's largest metro areas. The Cascadia region is projected to add 3.4 million residents by 2050, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation, putting more pressure on its transportation network. Driving the news: WSDOT wants the public's input on its Cascadia High-Speed Rail proposal by Nov. 13. The survey asks about transportation needs and priorities as the agency studies potential routes, train speeds, stops and connections to existing transit. It also seeks feedback on the separate I-5 Master Plan , which examines future highway improvements. What they're saying: "We want to know who's going to use it and how," WSDOT spokesperson Steve Peer told Axios. "It's very important to get public input because it really guides us on moving forward." How it works: The proposed trains would travel at 200 mph or more on new, dedicated tracks, with fewer stops than
