West Coast high speed transit urged by Senate panel
A Senate Commerce Committee hearing in Los Angeles heard calls for immediate development of a West Coast high speed ground transportation system from Vancouver to San Diego. Witnesses from engineering firms and transit agencies argued the Los Angeles to San Francisco corridor must grow, with trains offering faster, fuel-efficient travel than jets. The hearing covered energy costs, environmental strain, and a proposed multi-phase plan including turbine trains and aerotrain concepts.
