A maglev rail network connecting the Texas Triangle has the ability to unite this
emerging mega-region with a highly efficient alternative to auto and air transport. This would
serve to increase the economic sharing of resources and will improve the quality of life for
residents with enhanced accessibility to jobs and services in all triangle cities. Many
unforeseen benefits materialize from such a highly connected regional transportation
infrastructure including cost reductions in highway maintenance and construction and
reduced air traffic in congested skies and airports. This study examines the reasons for
choosing a maglev system, regulatory barriers to implementing such a system, and the costs
associated with a Maglev system built in the Texas Triangle. / text
