Expanding our role in shaping the future of sustainable electrified rail transportations across America.
Linxon, a leading global provider of turnkey electrical substations and grid infrastructure, is pleased to announce its appointment to the Executive Committee of the U.S. High Speed Rail Association (USHSR). This appointment underscores Linxon’s commitment to advancing sustainable transportation through electrified rail systems and resilient infrastructure.
The U.S. High Speed Rail Coalition, co-chaired by former U.S. Department of Transportation Secretaries Ray LaHood and Anthony Foxx, along with Rod Diridon, Chair Emeritus of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, is driving a national effort to modernize America’s transportation network. The Coalition has already helped secure over $10.6 billion in federal and state funding for high-speed rail projects, with an expected $30 billion in industry services to be procured over the next six years.
By joining the Executive Committee, Linxon will play a key role in advancing the development of a 17,000-mile national high-speed rail network, supporting efforts to transform mobility, enhance sustainability and foster economic growth throughout the nation.
Why Linxon is joining the movement
Linxon exists to empower the energy transition by building infrastructure that connects communities, protects the climate, and creates lasting economic value. Rail electrification is a cornerstone of this mission, reducing emissions, enhancing mobility, and enabling a cleaner, more connected future.
