Right now,
Americans are stuck choosing between outrageously
expensive flights and long, unaffordable train routes.
Meanwhile, countries around the world enjoy fast,
affordable, national rail systems that make travel
easier, greener, and cheaper. Americans want
alternatives. The problem is that in most cases, flying
is still cheaper and faster than taking a train, which
is a stunning failure of national transportation policy
in a country with such enormous resources.
Sign now to demand that the
U.S. finally build a high-speed national rail network
and make non-plane travel accessible to
everyone.
The U.S. should
not be bailing out airlines year after year while
leaving the rest of our transportation system stuck in
the 20th century. We deserve options that are fast,
sustainable, affordable, and reliable, just like
millions of people rely on every day in Japan, France,
Spain, South Korea, Germany, and beyond. It's time to
change course. Sign the petition to demand
an affordable, modern, high-speed national rail system
for the United
States!
