U.S. HIGH SPEED RAIL COALITION

The U.S. High Speed Rail Coalition is changing the game for high-speed rail in America. An alliance of 49 leading companies and unions from across the American high-speed rail industry, the Coalition is co-chaired by Rod Diridon and former U.S. Department of Transportation Secretaries Ray LaHood and Anthony Foxx.
Launched by the U.S. High Speed Rail Association in 2021, the Coalition has helped deliver over $10 billion in federal and state funds to America's first bullet train projects. Thanks to this influx of new investment, the American high-speed rail market is ready for takeoff. Over the next 6 years, these projects alone will procure $30 billion in high-speed rail industry services. Every day, we continue to build the momentum for high-speed rail across America. Join us.

Good Union Jobs

Building a more competitive America
America's high-speed rail revolution is helping to rebuild the middle class by creating tens of thousands of good-paying, highly-skilled union jobs constructing new lines, manufacturing high-speed trains, producing steel, and producing rail components. High-speed rail stations lead to local economic booms, which create even more jobs.

Climate & Energy Security

Combating the climate emergency
Across America, fossil-fueled cars and planes are polluting communities and accelerating climate chaos. High-speed rail provides a systemic solution to our mounting climate, pollution, and congestion crises. Powered by electricity, high-speed trains can run on renewable energy. Throughout the world, bullet trains have reduced demand for oil. High-speed rail is our ticket to the future.

Convenience & Safety

Travel at the speed of life
America’s aging transportation system creates endless headaches and frustration. Access to affordable high-speed rail can make life more pleasurable for all of us by providing a faster, cheaper and safer alternative to endless traffic jams and airport security lines and delays. High-speed rail connects mid-sized cities and towns to large economic centers, easing the strain on housing markets in major cities while boosting growth in nearby communities.
