NY Daily News: Rail against business as usual: Yes, the U.S. needs better trains, but it must innovate to get them

As Congressional lawmakers continue to debate the eventual contents of an infrastructure bill, much focus has rightfully been placed on the rail transportation portions of the package. According to the White House, the bipartisan infrastructure framework, if passed into law, will be “the largest federal investment in public transit in history and is the largest federal investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak.” All told, the framework proposes $49 billion in public transit spending, which includes mass rapid transit, and $66 billion in passenger and freight rail spending.
