High-speed rail is a type of rail transport that runs significantly faster than traditional trains.

A recent letter by the U.S. High Speed Rail Coalition made clear the positives to implementing high-speed rail.

“Once the Los Angeles-to-San Francisco line is up and running, it will slash emissions by an average of 2 million metric tons annually – equivalent to saving 225 million gallons of gas and taking 432,000 cars off the road every single year.

To achieve sustainability, we need high-speed rail. There is no cheaper or better alternative to addressing the state’s transportation and oil dependency challenges.”
