Terrific piece by @alanohnsman about the changing landscape for high-speed rail investment in the U.S., both private and public. WH Infrastructure Czar Mitch Landrieu told attendees at the @USHSR conference last week that Biden, "wants to go fast."

“High speed rail got short shrift," @RepPeterDeFazio says of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. "Transit came up very short, so I want to backfill there, improve there. Those are things that will help with carbon reduction and congestion mitigation.”

I took a ride on @GoBrightline today and was very impressed. I wish this type of product was adopted elsewhere in the U.S. as it can change public perceptions about traveling by rail for the better. America’s first privately owned passenger rail service in decades gets it right.

#VirginTrainsUSA will sustain a speed of 125 mph that will leave parallel highway traffic in the dust. "We expect passengers to look out the window and be surprised at how fast they are moving” 🚅 #rail #mobility #BuildHSR @GoBrightline @SiemensMobility

Now, let's build on this momentum to push Congress to pass the $10 billion in dedicated funding for high-speed rail included the Build Back Better Act passed by the House. @SenFeinstein @SenAlexPadilla @RepJimCosta

So what’s the big take away from riding now 15yr old N700 & mtg with Japan’s experts? Plain/simple we have to keep pushing aggressively. Their 1st #HSR launched in 1964! Funding & regulatory enviro will continue to be critical for us. Txs @_CFEE_ @JRCentral_OFL @CaHSRA @USHSR

ICYMI: 67% of Washingtonians want High-Speed Rail. It's why we need to secure funding for the revolutionary Cascadia rail line in the federal infrastructure packages being finalized in congress right now...

Rhetorical question of the day: Who would pay $30 for a 2-hour trip from Boston to Philly (city centers) with legroom that rivals airline first-class and NO turbulence?!?! 🚅🛤️🚆 #BuildHSR #highspeedrail #mobility #transportation #infrastructure

France's SNCF is now providing seats on Ouigo high-speed trains from central Paris to central Lyon—that's roughly the distance from Boston to Philly—in 2 h for €16.

High-speed rail connects communities like Mount Vernon to major job centers, equitably boosting and connecting economies. It's part of why we need to fund high-speed rail as part of any infrastructure package going to @POTUS ' desk. #buildhsr
