The Midwest Regional Rail System (MWRRS) will improve the level and quality of passenger rail service, offering:

• A 3,000-mile system, using existing rail rights-of-way shared with freight and commuter rail
• Safe, comfortable and reliable service to over 100 Midwestern cities, linking the region’s major economic centers
• Access to approximately 80 percent of the region’s 65 million residents
• State-of-the-art train equipment capable of operating at speeds of up to 110 mph
• More and better amenities, including first class seating for all, power outlets at each seat, wireless network access and food service
• Modern stations and intermodal facilities
• Dedicated feeder bus service connecting communities without direct rail service to the system

The enhanced regional transportation infrastructure and services will result in significant economic benefits and new Midwest jobs, while strengthening the region’s manufacturing, service and tourism industries, and protecting the environment.
