摘要: For almost half a century, high-speed ground transportation (HSGT) has held the promise of fast, convenient, and environmentally sound travel for distances between 40 and 600 miles. While a number of HSGT systems have been developed and deployed in Asia and Europe, none has come close to being implemented in the United States. Yet this is not for lack of trying. There have been several efforts around the country, most of which have failed, some of which are still in the early stages, and a few of which might come to pass. The goal of this study was to identify lessons learned for successfully developing and implementing highspeed rail (HSR) in the United States. Through a broad literature review, interviews, and three specific case studiesFlorida, California, and the Pacific Northwestthis study articulates those lessons and presents themes for future consideration.
