We need to radically increase the railroad infrastructure in the US. I propose a train line along most US Interstate highways. It will create jobs for years and will end up reducing emissions for commuters who currently have no feasible means of public transportation.
Why is this important?
I travel Routes 287 and 80 to get to work each day. I would love to be able to take a train to get to work. As of now, I would have to travel all the way to NYC and change trains or switch to buses several times, tripling my commute. I think others who may travel different highways would like this option, but I don't hear anyone talking about it, so I'm starting my own petition.
