Mica, Shuster Offer NEC Plan |
House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee Chairman John L. Mica (R-FL) and Rep. Bill Shuster (R-PA), chairman of the T&I Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee, held a briefing June 15 to roll out a new approach to bring private sector competition to high-speed passenger rail in the Northeast Corridor and intercity passenger rail service across the country.
Mica said it was time for Congress to change the direction of America’s “failed high-speed and intercity passenger rail service.” He said: “This new direction will employ private sector competition to bring real high-speed rail to the Northeast Corridor, reform passenger rail service across the country, and lower taxpayer costs.”
Shuster said: “As high-speed trains and passenger rail service around the world speed by, America remains stuck at the station.” |
