High-speed rail projects may not be advancing at a high-speed rate, but they are advancing, nonetheless. And as an HSRupdates subscriber, you’ll have an opportunity to hear the latest developments (with a few insider insights thrown in) via a “live” online presentation “Express Lane or Slow Boat? The Current State of High-Speed Rail” on Monday, July 19, at 11 a.m. (Eastern).

Available exclusively to HSRupdates subscribers, “Express Lane or Slow Boat? The Current State of High-Speed Rail” allows you to spend an hour with three highly regarded high-speed rail experts:

* David Carol, Market Leader, High-Speed Rail at Parsons Brinckerhoff;

* Al Engel, Vice President and High-Speed Rail Director at AECOM Transportation; and

* Peter Gertler, Chairman, High-Speed Rail Services at HNTB Corp.

Topics of conversation include:

* A brief overview of the high-speed rail scene in the United States so far;

* What's new and forthcoming in high-speed rail, including new grants from the FRA;

* A status report on the U.S. high-speed rail development curve; and

* The biggest obstacles to U.S. high-speed rail development and what it will take to overcome them;

Carol, Engel and Gertler also will respond to HSRupdates subscribers pre-submitted questions. If there’s something you want to know, submit your question(s) here, and our panel will get to as many questions as possible.
