The Economic Impact of High Speed Rail: Transforming the Midwest

The Midwest High Speed Rail Association issued a report about how High Speed Rail can transform the Midwest:

"As the world’s fifth largest economy, (at $2.6 trillion and approximately equal to France, only the U.S., Chinese, Japanese and German economies are larger) the Midwest possesses a diverse manufacturing, agricultural and business services base anchored by nine major metropolitan areas. High speed rail (HSR) will have a transformative impact that will unify the Midwest and solidify its future position as one of the world’s most powerful economic mega-regions."
