 * Bill **: HB94
 * Category **: Environment



Purpose: The Purpose of our bill is to develop electric trains across the United States to save the environment as much as we can by writing this bill. So less people will ride cars which just pollute our atmosphere. Our bill applies to every person in the country of America because we can all ride these trains in the future. Electric locomotives benefit from the high efficiency of electric motors, often above 90% of regular diesel trains.  Eligibility: Our bill is going to work by having Amtrak and railroads for the states be electric. We will have companies electrify all of the passanger trains that we need to so they can run efficient with the tracks. They can create fast trains and slower trains, put the fast ones in several locations from coast to coast across the United States and put the slower ones off of the faster ones, which will also supply many unemployed Americans.

Terms and Benefits: //American Rail companies will be required to switch their passenger lines over to electric power by 2020.//

Fiscal Impact: The cost of re-building trains and railroads will be fairly expensive but in the long run this bill will create lots of jobs and money for the U.S. It will pay off after construction ends. An advantage of electric locomotives it’s the energy is carries with it. Another thing is the lack of pollution it gives off which is almost nothing compared to regular motor trains. One downside of electric locomotives is the cost for infrastructure for the over-head power lines to supply the trains for energy. a locomotive deisel electric train costs anywhere fr om 1 to 3 million dollars.
