  4. An Integrated Network • Conventional/EmergingUp To 90 MPH • Shared with freight • Highway grade crossings • Can be electrified • HSR Regional90–110 MPH • Primarily dedicated track • HSR Regional110–125 MPH • NO highway grade crossings • “Core Express” HSR125–250 MPH • Must be electrified

  5. Travel Comparison • Traveling by HSR from St. Paul to Chicago is more productive and less expensive than flying or driving. Walking/Transit/Driving 3:15 Waiting/Airport Security Takeoff/Landing 3:55 Productive Time 7:30 Sources: HSR: AECOM 2010 Air: southwest.com plus estimated taxi fares Auto: Google Maps, IRS standard mileage allowance
