US High Speed Rail Association
https://www.ushsrcoalition.org
The US High Speed Rail Association (USHSR) is the premier membership advocacy organization and trade association advancing fast rail in America. USHSR was founded in 2009 as an independent nonprofit organization with the mission to build widespread public, business, and political support for major federal investment in a national high-speed rail network.
In 2020, USHSR expanded its efforts after the election of President “Amtrak Joe” Biden. The USHSR Coalition was formed to bring together labor, industry, and other stakeholders to pressure Congress and the Administration to appropriate major federal funding for rail and high-speed rail projects throughout America. After helping to secure $66 billion from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, USHSR is now working with DOT and FRA on implementation of those funds so 2-3 high-speed rail systems get up and running.
USHSR encourages the transformation of the U.S. transportation sector into a safe, fast and reliable, low-cost, green system that works for all Americans. By uniting the power of the high-speed rail industry including manufacturers, engineering firms, the civil construction industry, and their allied industries, both public and private, we are championing policies that enable the continued and aggressive growth of high-speed rail in the United States.
