| Abstract: | A number of states have placed high-speed rail service on their institutional agendas in recent years. Analysis of why some states have been giving serious consideration to the possibility of high-speed rail service while other states have not examined economic and political forces, as well as the transportation problem environment and established transportation commitments. States paying serious attention to high-speed rail service tend to have large populations and large land areas, two of the most fundamental aspects of the transportation task environment. |
