Our mission is to support, through public education, the development of urban and superspeed magnetic levitation (Maglev) transportation technologies in the United States. Deploying Maglev technology in the US will provide our economy a tremendous economic stimulus, by creating new jobs, and bringing new technologies on-line. An Americanized Maglev network will provide significant environmental and safety advantages to traveling Americans, mitigating congestion on the roads and in short-haul air routes, while offering travelers a new, faster, more efficient transportation option.

High-speed Maglev can and should be an integral component of our Nation’s transportation system. Maglev is safe, environmentally-friendly and energy efficient. Its contact-free operation between the vehicle and the guideway infrastructure results in significantly lower operating and maintenance costs than for traditional steel-wheel-on-steel-rail systems. That same lack of friction and contact means that high-speed Maglev operates quietly, a major advantage in urban environments. And because Maglev can operate routinely at speeds of up to 310 miles per hour, it has the ability to attract passengers that might never use slower alternatives.

You and your company are invited to join U.S. industry, U.S. Maglev project participants, labor unions and engineering companies and associations in this important effort.
