I am the proud author of the American High-Speed Rail Act, which would invest $205 billion into high-speed rail, create at least 2.6 million direct American jobs over five years, and provide Americans with a new travel option that is much faster and safer than driving, cleaner than flying, and is never delayed by weather.

Moulton promotes his American High-Speed Rail Act as a $205 billion investment in high-speed rail to create jobs and expand faster, cleaner transportation options.

Moulton's official issues page says he is the author of the American High-Speed Rail Act, which would invest $205 billion in high-speed rail and create at least 2.6 million direct jobs over five years.

Moulton's office describes the Act in the same $205 billion terms as the promise and frames it as a national transportation modernization proposal.

Moulton's office announced that he re-introduced the American High Speed Rail Act of 2026, authorizing up to $41 billion annually over five years to build a world-class high-speed passenger rail system.

After the 2023-2024 term, Moulton continued advancing the same high-speed rail proposal in later federal service, again at the $205 billion scale.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Moulton fulfilled the promise in the House term following the 2022 election by sponsoring and introducing H.R.7600, the American High-Speed Rail Act, on March 8, 2024. The introduced bill authorized $3 billion per year for planning, $3 billion per year for technology improvements, and $35 billion per year for corridor development for fiscal years 2024-2028, totaling $205 billion over five years. Because the promise was to propose the Act, formal introduction of the bill by Moulton counts as delivery during the same federal term.
