I think that rail, both on the passenger and freight side, needs to have an ever more prominent role in transportation in this country.

Asia is where the action is going forward, and we need to be a player, not on the sidelines.

America has too often been chasing the future rather than working to shape it.

Freight rail takes trucks off the road; it is clean; it is efficient; it's safe; and it plays a big part in Florida.
