Across the globe, people are traveling by high speed trains at speeds of 200 miles per hour and higher. They are escaping the woes of long automobile commutes, gridlocked traffic, and the indignities of post-9/11 air travel. They are experiencing the convenience, comfort, amenities, and service not available to automobile and air travelers. This unique book seeks to galvanize public interest in high speed rail by bringing to life the vast economic and lifestyle benefits of having a world-class high speed rail system throughout America. In addition, the creation of literally hundreds of thousands of jobs across numerous industries can become an immediate reality when high speed rail begins construction on American soil. In an easy-to-read, entertaining yet fact-filled and highly informative way, this critically acclaimed book introduces narratives that dynamically compare the experience of people traveling by available means in the United States with the experience of people taking fast trains in countries with established high speed rail systems. Fast Trains - America's High Speed Future passionately and convincingly argues that the time for fast trains in America is now! Our nation needs high speed rail. It needs it urgently, and there is no time to delay.Author BiographyEmy Louie is the Director for Public Outreach for the US High Speed Rail Association, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C.
