INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The nation's top rail transportation official will speak at a conference next week focusing on the future of high-speed rail in Indiana.
Federal Railroad Administrator Joseph Szabo will deliver the keynote address at Friday's conference on the IUPUI campus in Indianapolis. Szabo is overseeing the nation's $10.5 billion investment in high-speed trains that could bring routes to Indiana.
He'll join several state, national and local speakers in discussing the benefits that would come if Indiana lands high-speed passenger trains. Those benefits include economic development, jobs, commuter mobility and energy savings.
