Replying to @votevets @PeteButtigieg
I'll tell you how awesome @SecretaryPete is: he spoke for 45 mins at our @USHSR High Speed Rail 2024 conference in May. The Secretary made this critical, transportation, energy and national security issue, as he does with so many, very personal. Thanks, Pete! #BuildHSR

Check out this terrific @smartcitiesdive piece that focuses on @USHSR's new high-speed rail start-up advocacy guide. We especially thank lead author & Coalition member Bernard Cohen of ACI. Initiating a high-speed rail line is "not for the faint-hearted." smartcitiesdive.com/news/how…

Building high-speed rail is ‘not for the faint-hearted.’ Here’s how to get started.

A new document from the U.S. High-Speed Rail Coalition outlines the steps advocates should follow in the early stages of planning a high-speed rail line.

High-Speed Rail isn't worth building. 🎉 APRIL FOOLS! Not everyone loves my new bill to bring it to the U.S., so my staff picked a few mean (and funny) replies for me to react to. 📺 Mean Tweets, #HighSpeedRail edition ⬇️

Check out Planes, Trains and Climate Change by @alanohnsman in @Forbes: Research shows that bullet trains are a reliable, resilient alternative to flight disruptions caused by high winds and storms due to planetary warming. #BuildHSR bit.ly/49vksQJ

WATCH: Bullet Train Buttigieg is enthusiastic about the Biden administration's historic investment in electrified bullet trains! Pete knows we need to get that initial line up and running. And he said: this is just the "first wave" of funding. #BuildHSR youtube.com/watch?v=qSbK11PK…

We're building the first high-speed rail projects in our nation’s history. It’s part of an $8.2 billion investment we're making in 10 major passenger rail projects across America. We’re putting high-speed rail on the fast track.

This rare bit of public honesty from GOP @RepChipRoy in Texas, should be used in almost every Dem campaign from now until next November. #NameOneThing @DrDinD @MelissaJPeltier

This is the vision we at @USHSR have for a national high-speed rail network. The Biden Admin agrees and there is $66 bil for rail in the IIJA. We are working closely with @SecretaryPete & @USDOTFRA to fund construction of 2-3 lines (CA, NV, WA & TX). @DrDinD @MelissaJPeltier

DOT Secretary Ray LaHood: High-speed rail is coming to America, and this is a very big deal for American workers! The Biden Admin is planning to use funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to construct multiple high-speed rail lines. @TTDAFLCIO bit.ly/44Oktw2

High-speed rail is a huge opportunity for American workers

These projects won’t be flashes in the pan.
