 Evaluation of the Miami-Orlando-Tampa High Speed Rail Proposal
However, reflecting the importance of the extensive rail network (of which high-speed rail is a part), only 25 percent of the riders in the corridor begin and end their travel in Paris, Lyon or in between.
High-speed rail is a relatively inefficient and ineffective use of state appropriations both in terms of economic benefits and the use of state appropriations.
