The ties that bind: freight and passenger high-speed rail are interdependent

Abstract

Per-pound rail transportation is both a cost effective and a green alternative to truck and air transportation, but as the implementation of ARRA progresses it has become clear that the original goals must be amended as the operating environment dictates. This commentary supports utilizing HSR investments for a spectrum of rail projects, ranging from truly high-speed passenger rail on par with the fastest trains in the world, to the upgrading of the United States’ supporting, but under-engineered, rail infrastructure.
