Highways are already being delayed, due to a lack of federal and state funds, mainly because the gas tax per gallon hasn't gone up to reflect the inflation rate lately..... In Texas, the state is turning to building new toll roads to build its new highways.... I'm convinced that we would be better off building a starter network of high speed rail, some 7-8,000 miles, than rebuilding any urban freeway..... Keep in mind that federal highway spending is for new highways, or rebuilt highways.....not for repaving current roads....The state maintains the roads....and I'm not cutting that funding...... Adding another two years is nothing.....the state of Texas is delaying new highways a decade or more already...... I'll post my map again.... Notice that Indy will be served with a line between Chicago and Atlanta.....and on to Florida..... Speed is very important.... allowing any railroad operator the ability to run with much more frequency.... For example, Amtrak operates 3 trains to serve a daily on the Texas Eagle in each direction.... It takes up to 22 hours to serve Dallas to Chicago, an overnight train, very similar to the trains Amtrak operates between Chicago and Dallas..... Cut that time to 6 hours, and Amtrak can operate 4 daily trains in each direction..... 900 miles divided by 150 mph, not 186 mph, is 6..... a whole lot better than 1 every day......
