Senator Markey and Representative Deluzio just introduced the All Aboard Act that will lay the tracks to a more sustainable, connected future with expansive, efficient, electrified rail service—all built with union labor.

Solutionary Rail was honored to be a contributor and an endorser of this legislation that will help reconnect America by making rail the status quo for freight and passenger transport.

The All Aboard Act would make transformative investments in the United States’ national rail network. Today, the transportation sector accounts for over a quarter of all emissions in the United States. Trains represent the track to a greener and better-connected future. Trains are already the least carbon intensive mode of transportation -- and with reasonable investment -- can quickly become entirely zero-emission.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided historic investments in rail projects that are taking shape across the country. In the coming years, states, Amtrak, and rail carriers will need significant resources to provide the rail service that Americans are clamoring for while simultaneously decarbonizing our transportation systems.

The All Aboard Act would deliver this future by making both actionable investments in today’s rail network and providing the funding needed to transform the future of transportation. The bill invests over $200 billion over five years to improve existing freight and passenger rail corridors, kick start more
high-performance rail projects, make planet-saving investments in electrifying new and existing rail, improve rail climate-resiliency, and expand the rail workforce.
