Creating a High Speed Rail Line in Wisconsin

The US Department of Transportation provided $ 8 billion of funds to the state planning to construct a high-speed railway. Ohio and Wisconsin received approximately $ 1.2 billion, but they all handed out grants. Funds are reassigned to other states ("Wisconsin and Ohio"). Because Walker refused the fund, Wisconsin weakened expectations for high - speed rail, but Minnesota has never stopped the plan. State Governor Walker wanted to spend money on other things, such as state highway system and other infrastructure.

The United States is currently constructing a high-speed rail (California high-speed rail) in California, Texas Central Railway Company, Pacific Northwest, Midwest and Southeast. The high-speed rail project is also an advanced plan. As an upgrade to the high-speed northeastern corridor. Brightline, a private high-speed railroad company in Florida, commenced operation along part of the route in early 2018. So far the speed was limited to 127 km / h (79 mph), but the maximum speed is 201 km / h (125 mph). MPH)

As part of the national high-speed rail development law in 1994, the intercity high-speed railway committee (later known as California High Railway Bureau, CHRSA) developed a preliminary plan for the California high-speed railway corridor. The mission of the newly established CHRSA is railroad planning, development, and construction. Although CHRSA is actively evaluating its own project management, analysis of many experts and third-party groups have discovered that the financial, operational and technical estimates of the project are unrealistic did. For example, according to an independent survey, railways that can not be legally managed by government subsidies may not earn enough income to recover costs. Even the earliest iterations of the CHRSA project plan are facing criticism. That optimistic travel cost estimate is still 50% less efficient than driving and flight costs.

China opened the first high-speed rail linking Beijing and Tianjin in 2008. In the same year California voters approved state high-speed rail projects. Since then, China has spent about 360 billion dollars to build a 22,000 kilometer (13,670 mile) high-speed rail - more than the sum of the other countries - and an additional 15,000 kilometers (9,321 miles) by 2025 It is expected. This investment has changed the traveling method of Chinese people and the economic interests have grown, but there are other remarkable extensions.
