2011 Fall Meeting Recap
SPONSORS
The Midwest High Speed Rail Association, in partnership with All Aboard Ohio, held its annual fall meeting in Cleveland, OH on October 29th.
Approximately 100 people were in attendance throughout a day of presentations that ranged from industry updates, preliminary findings of a new high-speed rail study, and on-going federal advocacy efforts. The focus of the meeting was on looking at solutions-based high-speed rail initiatives that will create a healthier transportation system which provides a competitive edge, creates jobs, and improves quality of life for residents in the region.
Representatives from TranSystems and ESH Consult discussed the preliminary findings of a comprehensive study spelling out the job creation, economic development, quality of life, and environmental benefits of a multi-state Midwest high-speed rail system. The fully study, commissioned by MHSRA, is scheduled for release in December 2011.
