The premier organization focused on advancing a modern, national High-Speed Rail (HSR) network across the United States. Our mission is to build widespread public, business, and political support for a major infrastructure investment that provides a fast, safe, & reliable form of intercity transportation. We provide a forum to bring together key stakeholders to develop a coalition of national support. Outreach includes a range of conferences, educational forums, legislative testimony, networking events, tours, and on-line media. Our voice reaches across federal, state, city, and grassroots levels. Our vision entails a national HSR express system connecting major cities together with a support network of regional trains and urban transit rail. The system will incorporate high standards for inter-operable networks, dedicated track, advanced control systems, multi-modal train stations, and state-of-the-art 220 mph trains. Adoption of this new transportation system will revive our economy by creating millions of value-added jobs and making the business sector more productive with reliable intercity travel. The manufacturing base will be revived with demand for basic materials such as steel & copper and the fabrication of advanced train sets. It will be the catalyst for sustainable urban real estate development, significantly reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and provide efficient mobility that's safe and affordable for its passengers.

Saddling up for high-speed rail in Horseheads, New York. ???? The dream of high-speed rail gets closer to reality in the USA with today’s announcement of our $60 million investment for a new production facility for the American Pioneer 220 trainset. With speeds of 220mph (354kph), 10 trains will connect Los Angeles to Las Vegas in around two hours and herald the start of a new (and long-awaited) industry in the USA – high-speed rail travel. Passengers can expect accessible trains with the latest technology, comfort, and trainsets that emit zero emissions. And, as Las Vegas is involved, why not enjoy the special party carriage on the journey as well! ?? From an engineering perspective, you will see a groundbreaking new gearless propulsion system that reduces energy consumption by 30% and allows steep grades to be climbed easily. Horseheads will become our third train manufacturing facility in North America, joining Sacramento and Lexington. We are at the start of a rail revolution in the USA with our customer Brightline West Trains accelerating the change – and Siemens Mobility is fully on board! ??

Initiating a high-speed rail project in America is not for the faint-hearted! To help groups that want to begin this challenging process, US High Speed Rail has created this guide for advocates. The roadmap we developed was driven largely by the efforts of lead author Bernard Cohen, of ACI in Boston, who drew on the broad experience of our Coalition members and many others. USHSR also wants to thank the IAM (Machinists Union) Communications Dept. for designing and producing the booklet and all the graphics that make the guide very easy to follow. We encourage readers to share this straightforward advocacy guide within their networks and beyond. Our Coalition members are some of our best ambassadors! #BuildHSR https://lnkd.in/gsJGVtjq
Check out this terrific piece by Smart Cities Dive that focuses on USHSR's new high-speed rail start-up advocacy guide.
