High-speed and intercity rail systems link cities to the world. Connecting communities and improving transportation between cities, states and countries make high-speed and intercity passenger rail a true catalyst for economic growth, while providing passengers with a reliable and safe transportation alternative.
High-speed rail (HSR) uses specialized rolling stock and dedicated tracks, meaning big investments. However, over the years, HSR has become the global standard for energy-efficient transportation.
A Leader in High-Speed Rail Networks
WSP is a leader in the creation of HSR networks worldwide, including some of the biggest projects in Asia and Europe.
WSP has played key roles two ambitious HSR projects in the United States, including serving as the rail delivery to the California High-Speed Rail Authority for the development of a HSR system that will initially link Los Angeles and Anaheim with San Francisco, and eventually connect San Diego and Sacramento. WSP also provided engineering support for the Texas Bullet Train, a 240-mile HSR line that will link the cities of Dallas and Houston in 90 minutes.
