New Kid on the Block. Opposition to Texas High Speed Rail

The new kid on the block: ‘ReRoute the Route’

ReRoute the Route message:safer, smarter rail options in Texas

Who is in the coalition? land owners, elected officials and business leaders

What do they say the high speed rail route should look like?

• endpoint closer to downtown Houston
• follow established right-of-way such as the I-45 corridor
• minimize eminent domain and private property concerns
• minimize environmental impact concerns
• alleviate safety concerns of the curved track design
• foundation for more advantageous economic development opportunities
