From UIC Highspeed 2012:

“The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) is excited to be hosting the UIC 8th World Congress on High-Speed Rail and we look forward to welcoming the world to Philadelphia and the United States – July 10-13, 2012.

As America reshapes our transportation options to meet the challenges of the 21st Century, UIC’s decision to hold the World Congress here will go a long way in helping the United States gather the critical information and expertise to advance high-speed rail.

The United States is experiencing unprecedented population growth and demand for high-speed rail and high-performance rail is enormous. It will create quality jobs, spur economic development, and be a catalyst for a better quality of life.

By attending UIC HIGHSPEED 2012, all of us share a momentous opportunity to advance high-speed rail and its forward-reaching benefits in the United States and the world.”

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.

 

We require your support in order to rise to this occasion, to make the most of this opportunity. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to InfrastructureUSA.org.
