Abstract: Our project looked at doing a cost analysis of intercity transportation focusing on the Northeast Corridor and considering financial, user and environmental costs. The highly polluting plane travel costs significantly less than the environmentally friendlier train travel, leading us to investigate solutions that can promote the use of affordable and clean energy by balancing the three costs associated with intercity travel. We proposed both technology and policy-based solutions to use industry and innovation in infrastructure to work towards more sustainable cities.
