The Texas T-Bone Corridor

• The THSRTC route is 256 miles shorter than running the bases on the straight line

• In terms of the initial design and construction costs, the THSRTC route is estimated to be 33.5% less expensive that the straight line approach

• THSRTC relies on regional, local, and municipal entities to participate in the planning and to allow for a self-determined final alignment. The Corporation prides itself on the bottom-up determination of its members

• There are over 1,000,000 students attending the numerous community colleges, vocational institutes, colleges, and universities located within the Texas T-Bone that would greatly benefit from the high speed rail access
