John,

Removal of the four lower Snake River dams relies on replacing barge transportation on the river with alternative ways to bring grain to market. Bringing down the dams will save salmon and orca from extinction. We need your help with a critical step in this process by tomorrow, December 6.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has launched a public feedback form [[link removed]] where you can let WSDOT know why YOU care about a modernized transportation system that doesn't come at the cost of salmon and orca extinction.

By this FRIDAY, December 6, follow these steps to fill out the public feedback form. (NOTE: Your responses are up to you, but our transportation allies suggest the following entries.)

For “What are you most concerned about as WSDOT continues this study?” > Select “more trains transporting good to market”

Skip “Please list roadways in the study area…” unless you are familiar with the roadways.

Under Rail Capacity, for “How do these current conditions match with your experience within the study area?” > Select “the findings align with my experience”

Under Roadway Capacity, for “How do these current conditions match with your experience within the study area?” > Select “the findings align with my experience”

Enter your Name and email address

Message: Type a personal message telling WSDOT why it’s important to you that we move away from transportation via the four lower Snake River dams. Not sure what to say? Here are some suggestions:

Snake River barging has declined significantly, and the need for robust rail and road infrastructure is more critical than ever.

A modernized transportation system can better support agricultural exports while preserving our iconic salmon runs.

Removing the lower Snake River dams is the next step in creating an efficient, forward-thinking transportation network.
