It's getting late folks. 2020 is coming in a few months. And yet America is still clueless about what kind of infrastructure the country needs to position itself for prosperity in this century.
The big one is transportation, where the U.S. is more than a decade behind the rest of the advanced world. Our leaders, business and government, still don't understand that trains have to, and will, replace cars as the primary mode of transportation.
Trains and light rail will make more progress this year. But without any funding or overall plan. In fact, any transportation "fix" right now would involve pavement and death and pollution and lost time and take us backwards. Thank goodness there's no financing of infrastructure right now.
Train ridership, routes and success will continue to grow this year.
