A corridor-by-corridor estimate of the potential annual greenhouse gas benefits -- from emissions reductions -- of high speed rail systems in the U.S. based on current plans for high speed rail development in the federally designated high speed rail corridors.

A pair of maps illustrating two different ways of measuring CO emissions The traditonal measure looks at overall emmissions without taking population density into account usually showing the densest emissions coming from the urban core When population density is taken into account however emissions in the urban core are lower…
