Instead of just repairing old potholes and failing bridges, we need to modernize our infrastructure to give American’s better options to get where they’re going faster and more easily than we can today. I am thrilled to see the nation’s first ever large-scale federal investment in high-speed rail. As one of the most vocal advocates for high-speed rail in Congress, I have been pushing for investments like this for years. We are woefully behind all of our peers, who have had high-speed rail for decades. Even Morocco, with half a percent of our GDP, has invested billions in a Casablanca-Tangier high-speed rail line. Not only will high-speed rail transform the way we travel, it will expand job and housing access exponentially. My bill, the American High Speed Rail Act, would create over $2 million jobs. While this money is a fraction of the total cost to build the routes, it is a critical step in the right direction. I am pleased that a significant amount of funding was dedicated to a few select projects. We have learned the lesson that spreading funding too thin, and across too many projects, ultimately just diminishes its impact.	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-08T01:14:16Z
