A Guide To Obama’s Plans
By Brian Merchant, Brooklyn, New York on 04.16.09
A) Where the Rail Will Go?
With only $8 billion specifically allotted to getting the project off the ground, and an additional $1 billion a year for five years, he's going to have to be cautious of where he builds rail. And he seems to have acknowledged this in his planning—instead of an ambitious plan to lay rail from coast to coast, Obama is suggesting 10 corridors of 100-600 miles each around the country. Blue is where high speed rail already exists (yup, it's that single, solitary line in the Northeast—we're way behind Japan and Europe here). . Check out Obama's vision for high-speed rail in America for your self-below--the gray lines are where future lines will hopefully go.
B) The Ten Rail Corridors:
Pacific Northwest Corridor, South Central Corridor, Gulf Coast Corridor, Chicago Hub Network, Florida Corridor, Keystone Corridor, Empire Corridor, Northern New England Corridor California Corridor, Southeast Corridor.
C) Green Benefits of High Speed Rail:
Besides the obvious benefits of having a more effective mass transit system—less car travel, fewer flights, less congestion, less incentive for the creation of urban sprawl—Obama's plan notes a specific green figure.
D) How the High Speed Rail Will Be Built:
Obama's goals will (hopefully) be realized through a combination of constructing brand new corridors that will be entirely dedicated to high-speed rail and the incremental upgrading of existing rail. And in addition to the $8 billion in stimulus funds, money will be made available as grants for states with rail projects that are "ready to go." Rail projects like these are expected to create a slew of jobs as well.
It’s a very effective plans and it’s helps ahead to technology.
