Trains are such a great way to travel.
You can work, talk with friends, or just relax instead of fighting traffic.
No TSA. Less money. A lot safer.
Sadly, it’s probably not an option for your trip.
For decades, governments have focused on moving cars, not people. America’s railways have fallen behind.
We can have great trains!
Brightline in Florida and Caltrain in the Silicon Valley have shown just how great American trains can be.
And, Amtrak is setting ridership records.
Working together, we can change the bad policies that have kept trains out of your state.
Building new track is more urgent than ever.
Great trains are a catalyst for changing every major health, economic, and environmental challenge we face.
That’s because travel shapes everything.
How we live and work. How often we see friends and loved ones. Business costs, city finances, air quality, stress levels, general health—all of it.
We are pushing states to build enough high-quality track to run the trains we need.
Building this grassroots movement.
We help people understand what American trains could be, why we should build them–and how to make it happen.
- Our research simplifies complex issues, sparks innovative ideas, and fosters policy proposals.
- Our educational programs inform individuals, civic leaders, elected officials, and the media.
- Our organizing infrastructure gives people the tools and motivation they need to support champions, connect allies, and take action.
One Alliance driven by you.
The High Speed Rail Alliance is a people-powered non-profit working to bind the nation with great trains.
We’ve seen how they revitalize cities and build thriving economies. How they slash pollution and make traveling safer, faster, and more affordable.
We want trains to transform communities — all across North America.
Join us.
You don’t need to be an expert or an activist. You just need to wish you could take the train and want to do something about it.
