Recognizing the need for U.S. MAGLEV technology, for high speed regional MAGLEV systems, the focus of the study was designed to use foreign technology as developed in either Japan or Germany and Americanize this technology so that it could be manufactured and subsequently improved in the U.S. A Pittsburgh Regional MAGLEV project was put together which had three objectives. (1) A Pittsburgh region based MAGLEV industry, (2) a private/public partnership to build and operate a regional MAGLEV system, and (3) integration of the stops on the regional MAGLEV system into nodes of economic activity.
