Champions
for the Great Lakes Hyperloop
The necessary ingredients to enabling a successful launch of something as transformative as the hyperloop, and sustaining its growth for years to come, includes having a foundation of the best and the brightest across industry, academia and all levels of government. The Great Lakes region is fortunate to have an abundance of relevant stakeholders from all these disciplines.
I commend NOACA and HyperloopTT for investing in innovative, sustainable, and affordable transportation technologies to help grow our economy, improve our environment, and make a positive impact on the lives of countless people across the region.
Improving Ohio by increasing economic growth and job opportunities while reducing harmful emissions shows that Ohio is a leader in a new era of transportation and manufacturing.
Hyperloop technology has the opportunity to revolutionize how Northeast Ohioans live and work. I am excited by the study’s results showing the possibilities and potential hyperloop can bring to the Cleveland area.
Hyperloop technology is no longer a pie-in-the-sky idea, it is rapidly moving toward realization. Ohioans think big, and we pride ourselves on innovation. I commend everyone in Northern Ohio working toward this project’s success. Our bipartisan effort in Washington to bring support to this innovation will continue.
The work HyperloopTT has done in my home state of Ohio and across the Great Lakes Megaregion has shown that high-speed transportation can be both profitable and better for the environment. Congress would do the nation a great service to pave the way for the hyperloop industry.
Introducing the hyperloop will bring an influx of new jobs and countless benefits for the Greater Cleveland area and our regional economy. I will continue to engage my colleagues on the House Appropriations Committee to secure funding for the project’s research, development and deployment…
Technical Advisory Committees
Our TAC Members have proven invaluable during Phase 1 of the Great Lakes Hyperloop Feasibility Study. As the megaregion moves forward with Phase 2 — the environmental impact work — our TAC Members, both old and new, will be invited to an important seat at the table to inform the project with their regional expertise.
