The US High Speed Rail Association is on a mission to bring 21st century transportation to America! Since 2009 we've been making great progress bringing high speed rail closer to reality. In the coming year we are planning major new activities to further this mission, and we invite you to participate. Please help us meet our yearly financial goals with your contribution today!
PROGRESS TO DATE
America's first state-of-the-world high speed rail line is now under construction in California. This 220-mph system will be faster than many other nations' HSR systems! Similar systems are under development in Texas, Florida, Nevada, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington! Join us as we ramp up our efforts to accelerate the development of state-of-the-art high speed rail across America.
Join us in bringing high speed rail to America!
Make your contribution to 21st century transportation.
