Plans to expand high-speed rail service are now underway in several U.S. regions. A recent report found that high-speed rail in the Midwest would reduce air travel by 1.3 million trips and car travel by 5.1 million trips per year by 2020, saving 188,000 tons of CO2 emissions, equivalent to taking 34,000 cars off the road while still getting everyone to and from work.
