Superconducting Maglev Project Update


NEPA Environmental Impact Statement Process Continues

In January, the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the project was released, taking us one step closer to bringing the world’s most advanced transportation system to the Northeast Corridor. We look forward to continued momentum in 2022. Check in for updates and more information at the FRA/MDOT project website.


Growing Support

Over 25,000 Supportive Petition Signers

Support for the Northeast Maglev continues to grow. To date, more than 25,000 people, including more than 15,000 people from Maryland, have shown their support by signing a petition in favor of the project.


Diversity Equity & Inclusion

Ensuring Equitable Access to Opportunity
This year, Baltimore-Washington Rapid Rail announced its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Plan for Economic Opportunity in Maryland.
The plan highlights our commitment to deliver billions of dollars of economic benefits to communities of color, women, and their businesses in constructing and operating the multi-billion high-speed train project.


Northeast Maglev in the Community

Superconducting Maglev and S.T.E.A.M.

Recently, members of the Northeast Maglev team met with members of future generations – those who will truly benefit from the project. We met with Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (S.T.E.A.M.) students and teachers from Old Mill Middle School South, Lockerman Middle School and Concord Elementary to share Northeast Maglev’s story with students and talk with them about superconducting maglev technology.

Recent polling (here and here) from Lake Research Partners, a leading national public opinion research firm, showed that the Northeast Maglev Project has the support of more than two-thirds of Prince George’s (68%), and Anne Arundel (69%) Counties, and Baltimore City (72%) voters.

Baltimore Leaders Show Support

Baltimore City leaders joined together to announce their support for the project over the summer. Leaders from the Greater Baltimore Chapter of the National Action Network, the Greater Baltimore Black Chamber of Commerce, the Ministers Conference Empowerment Center CDC, and the Baltimore-DC Metro Building and Construction Trades Council voiced support.

Over the summer, Baltimore community and labor leaders and hundreds of residents held a rally advocating for the opportunities that the Northeast Maglev project would bring to the city.


Putting 2021 in the Rearview Mirror


Looking Ahead to 2022 and Beyond

In the midst of a crazy year, the team at Northeast Maglev feels fortunate to have made remarkable strides toward bringing the superconducting maglev technology to the Northeast Corridor. We have reached major milestones that have brought us closer to revolutionizing the way that people travel in the United States and closer to our local communities. We look forward to continued support, progress, and less social distance!
