Thank you @RepLangworthy for your fantastic address on the bullet train manufacturing boom in New York's Southern Tier and the need for high-speed rail permitting reform!

Honored to deliver the keynote address today at the U.S. High Speed Rail Conference with 300 industry leaders in attendance. Proud to highlight Siemens Mobility’s Horseheads plant and its vital role in the NY-23 economy and America’s high-speed rail future.

Texas has “4 of the top 10” biggest cities in the country and yet doesn’t have high speed rail that looks like this:

California High Speed Rail would connect both these places in 45 minutes. It needs to be built immediately.

[The FRA @USDOTFRA]

📅The deadline is fast approaching to apply for funding under the Intercity Passenger Rail Grant Program-Northeast Corridor. Under the Trump Administration, we are investing nearly $5 billion in high priority major station projects, including New York Penn Station and Washington Union Station.

Apply by May 5, 2026 https://t.co/GUII2UUOiu

California High-Speed Rail will run on 100% clean energy, saving 500,000 metric tons of CO2e annually with:

🚗 1.4 billion vehicle miles traveled reduced
✈️ 14,000 air trips reduced

With HSR, Californians will be able to crisscross the state cleanly & greenly. #EarthDay

High speed rail keeps looking better.

@elonmusk @boringcompany @VaclavSmil: "None of the system’s often repeated advantages in comparison with high-speed rail ... has been tested on even a single commercial project, and all such claims, until proven otherwise, remain in the category of wishful thinking."

A few years ago I rode the KTX highspeed train from Seoul, South Korea to Daegu and Buson. It was amazing. Don’t believe the liars trying to discredit high speed rail. Other countries are decades ahead of North America.

On This Day in Transit 📅 | Did you know?

📍3 April, 2007, the experimental train V150 in France set a world speed record for conventional rail at 574.8 km/h. This achievement pushed the boundaries of high-speed rail technology.

As we move closer to operations, high-speed rail is already boosting California’s economy.

📈$24.6 BILLION in economic output
👷$9.5 BILLION in labor income

And over 98% of project investments are supporting California workers and businesses. 👪

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

The third-busiest domestic air route is Atlanta to Orlando. If high-speed rail connected the two, it could link them in 3 hours via Jacksonville, shorter than current TSA wait times. Just saying.

California high-speed rail recently celebrated the completion of the southern railhead site!

🏗️ 150-acre site for track installation materials & more
�� Includes workshop, maintenance yard, storage
🚅 10 miles of temp. train tracks installed for receiving & delivering material
