As more than 30 U.S. House members from 18 states introduced legislation that would invest $205 billion into a nationwide high-speed rail network, a new survey finds that high-speed rail is very popular, with 60% of U.S. registered voters holding a favorable opinion of it.

Only 16% of voters view it unfavorably, the survey found. High-speed rail is especially popular in the West where the nation’s first high-speed rail projects — Brightline West and California High Speed Rail — are under construction. There, high-speed rail transportation has a 71% - 14% favorability rating, according to the survey conducted by Public Policy Polling for the U.S. High-Speed Rail Coalition.
