HIGH SPEED GROUND TRANSPORTATION ACT OF 1965

Coupled with the Northeast Corridor Transportation Project, the high speed program was sought to: determine transportation demand in a most heavily populated and industrialized intercity corridor region; analyze engineering systems alternatives for meeting that demand; demonstrate traveller response to selected transportation improvements; and undertake research and development in fields of entirely new systems as well as stimulating that in existing systems.
