The report presents the findings and recommendations of the NMI, a unique interagency cooperative effort of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) of the DOT, the USACE, and the DOE, with support from other agencies. The purpose of the report is to recommend future Government action regarding maglev. The recommendation is based on private sector and Government information generated during the past 3 years concerning the viability of maglev as an intercity transportation alternative for the United States. The information includes the projected technical and financial performance of maglev in intercity markets in competition with other modes of travel, the anticipated external benefits such as reduction in pollution and congestion in other modes, and other national-level impacts. The report considers the potential of a new United States Maglev (USML) system compared with that of alternatives using existing maglev technology or high-speed rail (HSR).
