The coming years present a unique opportunity to amplify the economic potential of our nation’s mega-regions while extending that prosperity to rural communities. Much like the transformative power of the national highway network, the development of a nationwide high-speed and intercity rail system will be a catalyst for future growth. By building a robust, energy-efficient, and sustainable high-speed rail network, we can create and nurture thousands of high-paying jobs, drive regional economic development, and support a more resilient, connected future for all Americans.
This High Speed Rail Seminar will bring together diverse stakeholders and experts to address the critical technical and policy challenges needed to turn this vision into a reality.
Who should attend: Railroad industry professionals (public and private), elected officials at the state and local levels (and staff), State and regional railroad officers, university subject matter experts, workforce development professionals, economic development officers, public policy thought leaders, and passenger rail advocates.
