Strengthening the National Passenger Rail Network
According to a poll that came out in March of 2022 from the Rail Passengers Association, the vast majority of Americans want the federal government to invest in strengthening the national passenger rail network. In fact, with the rising and unpredictable costs of gas, rail would be a more cost-effective solution for more Americans to access jobs currently too far to commute to.Smiths Interconnect's experience in high performance connector solutions, antenna systems, RF components and cable assemblies for rolling stock, signaling and infrastructure results in customer-driven, reliable solutions for their customers.
