Abstract
  • As the Southeastern region of the United States continues to experience increasing levels of congestion on the regional highways, the Southeast High-Speed Rail corridor presents an appealing alternative to automobile travel. The corridor is slated to run from Washington, D.C. to Charlotte, North Carolina and eventually from Charlotte to Birmingham, Alabama. The key to implementing the project is the privatization of operations, a model not traditionally used for rail in the U.S. With the Southeastern states moving ahead with the environmental impact statements, the outstanding issues include setting the timeline, choosing the operators, and designing the routes.
