U.S. Rep. John L. Mica (R-FL), ranking member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, introduced a bill March 14 aimed at promoting the development of high-speed rail corridor projects, beginning with the Northeast Corridor between Washington, DC, and New York City. The bill, H.R. 5644, was referred to the T&I Committee.
