Illinois PIRG released a new report today, Connecting the Midwest, that puts clear numbers and a clear vision on how high-speed rail will boost the Midwest economy, reduce highway and airport congestion, reduce dependence on oil, and protect the environment. The report, including a summary of key findings, is available on PIRG's web site: http://www.illinoispirg.org/news-releases/transit/transit-news/high-speed-rail-part-of-the-solution
