60 percent of eligible voters back construction of new high-speed railways across the U.S. A poll of 1,500 eligible voters conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies on 11-12 June found strong public support for the building of new railways.
The survey also showed most Americans would support bans on short-haul flights along routes that are also covered by high speed trains, mimicking legislation introduced in France .
Support for high-speed rail in the U.S. is linked to the increasingly congested highway network.
Rail travel fell out of favor in the 1950s .
Since 1950 the population has more than doubled and the number of motor vehicles registered has increased sixfold.
Professor Ian Savage said public sentiment is a reflection of increased population and highway traffic.
