The Obama administration just distributed $8 billion nationwide for high speed rail.
We've got to keep up the momentum for more and better public transportation and high speed rail across the United States.
Add your name in support of our 21st century transportation principles: http://studentpirgs.org/action/21st-century-transit
Having
high-speed rail connecting all the major cities throughout the country
would help our economy by providing thousands of sustainable jobs,
reduce carbon emissions that cause global warming, clear up highway
congestion, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and improve our
quality of life.
It's
going to take a long-term commitment from our local and national
leaders to plan and fund a national rail system. As we rebuild our
transportation system, let's make sure we do it right.
