Mapping HSR Travel Times

Posted by Steve Anderson on Monday, May 9th, 2011

An interactive map from Midwest High-Speed Rail predicts the travel time between stations in the Midwest using high-speed rail.  On April 16, 2009, President Obama announced his “Vision for High Speed Rail.” This vision includes the development of high-speed train lines in at least 10 regions across the country, including the Midwest with a major hub network centered in Chicago.

“The Midwest is working as one region to connect its residents through improved high-speed and intercity passenger rail service.  Connecting the metropolitan areas of the region, such as Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Des Moines, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Madison, Minneapolis- St Paul and St. Louis, to each other through rail will create new jobs, stimulate private investment, expand transportation options and reduce our environmental impact”.

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.
