Why Americans are Ready for

High‐Speed Rail Today

• Jobs

•

• Crowded aircraft and terminals, and extended pre‐

flight times

• Sensitivity to climate change/global warming

• Possibility of $4.00/gallon gas

– , . . .

• Jobs

More than half of Americans (54%) would choose modern high‐speed trains

over automobiles (33%) and air travel (13%) if fares and travel times were

about the same, according to a 2009 HNTB Corporation survey.

• Software: Safety, Training, Maintenance, etc

• Extensive Research & Development

– Komaki Research Facility – opened in 2002

• Strategic, Long

‐Term

Investments

– Superconducting Magnetic Levitation (SCMAGLEV)

– Tokaido Shinkansen Bypass – meeting future

demand

N700‐I Configuration

15

Issues &

Challenges

• Standards & Regulations

– Currently there are no standards or specifications for dedicated, true high‐speed rail

– American’s benefit from the opportunity to select the best technology available

– Safety is first priority, but no need to compromise system performance

• System Integration

– Procurement strategies will vary by corridor, but must not undermine system integration

• Financing & Funding

– Federal long‐term commitment remains unclear – process is unpredictable and ineffective

– r vate sector n t at ve may a ow or est so ut on

– Private sector approach allows risk mitigation and optimal corridor and station configuration

and deployment schedule

– Texas corridor presents best financability ratio in the country.
