MAGLEV Deployment Program

Each of the maglev projects is at a different stage of development.

Baltimore-Washington Maglev Project - The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Baltimore to Washington Maglev project was circulated and public review completed in December 2003.  For more information please see the Baltimore-Washington EIS page.  Work on the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) is progressing. 

Pennsylvania High-Speed Maglev Project in Pittsburgh  – The Pittsburgh Project was also selected for further study, and the preparation of an EIS was initiated in July 2001. The DEIS released in September 2005 and public review completed in December 2005.  For more information please see the Pennsylvania Maglev EIS page.  Preparation of the FEIS is underway.

Las Vegas to Anaheim Project – A Notice of Intent to prepare a Program EIS was issued and published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2004.  Work in this EIS has been delayed due to funding constraints.

Los Angeles Studies– Preliminary engineering studies for an intial line were completed.  An alternatives analysis comparing steel wheel high-speed rail with maglev is underway.
