"We should significantly increase the amount of public investment in rail infrastructure."

"If they could get it near 2 hours, 2 hours and 15 minutes regularly, there are hundreds and hundreds of more passengers who would take that train every day."

"Passenger rail is an important part of the climate change puzzle. It is extremely efficient, fuel efficient, much more so than individual passenger vehicles."

"To say that we shouldn't be subsidizing commuter rail or we shouldn't be subsidizing Amtrak is just saying you don't want to run trains, because everywhere else in the world they are subsidized."
