Invest in transformative high-speed rail infrastructure now.

The bipartisan infrastructure law and the surface transportation investment act reinforced existing rail infrastructure but fell short in advancing high-speed rail initiatives. Enacting new legislation that emphasizes the national security implications of reducing reliance on air travel and foreign oil through the development of high-speed rail could garner bipartisan backing. By reallocating funds from domestic airport operations and maintenance towards high-speed rail, this legislation can provide a budget-neutral path to upgrading tracks for speeds exceeding 200 MPH. This shift would alleviate the taxpayer burden associated with expanding air travel infrastructure while establishing a sustainable transportation system that enhances energy independence and economic growth along rail corridors.
