- Amtrak should focus on building a true high-speed rail infrastructure along the Northeast Corridor, connecting Washington, D.C. to New York and Boston via Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Haven, and Providence.
- The Northeast Corridor has the potential to be one of the world’s great high-speed train markets due to its large cities and relatively short distances between them.
- Building a strong Northeast Corridor route would not only benefit passengers, but also help relieve airport congestion in the region.
- Amtrak should consider extending the Northeast Corridor to Richmond, Raleigh, Charlotte, and Atlanta, as well as to Toronto and other cities in the Midwest.
