Since then, the Corporation has experienced tremendous growth and has gained support at the local, regional, state and national levels as it strives to develop true world-class high-speed intercity passenger rail capable of operating at speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour to the South Central and Gulf Coast High-Speed Rail Corridors. Through its unique grassroots approach, THSRTC enjoys the active and enthusiastic support of cities, counties and rail districts along the Texas T-Bone High-Speed Rail Corridor and the exrtensions thereof from Dallas /FtWorth International Airport along this I-30 corridor into Arkansas. In addition, 23 members of Congress from three states participate in the THSRTC congressional caucus and THSRTC legiuslative caucus enjoys the active participation of 42 lawmakers from Texas and Arkansas..
