The future of high-speed rail development in America took a serious blow last week when the Senate put only $1.2 billion in their transportation budget for high-speed rail ā though the House requested $4 billion in their version of the budget.
High-speed rail is exactly the kind of investment we need to be making right now. Efficient transportation like high-speed rail will make our air cleaner, reduce our energy consumption, connect our metro areas, and create tens of thousands of quality American jobs.
Key lawmakers will meet soon to finalize the bill ā help high-speed rail get rolling by urging the Senate to match the $4 billion requested by the House!
