Vice President Biden Announces $53 billion, Six Year Deal to Jump Start High Speed Rail NetworkVice President Joe Biden announced today a six year plan that will provide<strong> $53 billion</strong> to get the US high speed rail network on its feet. The plan is the first step to meeting President Barack Obama's goal -- which he stated in his State of the Union address last month -- of building a high speed rail network that at least 80% of Americans will have access to by 2036. Over the next fiscal year alone, <strong>$8 billion</strong> will be spent getting our current rail system up to speed, installing a limited amount of dedicated electrified high speed track and figuring out which corridors without rail service should get it first.1
