>These are the statistics underlying the reality that in San Francisco; Washington, D.C.; Boston; Atlanta; and many other major cities in the U.S., not a single mile of rail transit is currently under construction.

Here are some of the current U.S. cities with rail projects under construction:

Los Angeles, California - Extensions to the existing light rail network

Denver, Colorado - Commuter rail lines

San Diego, California - New light rail extensions

Seattle, Washington - Ongoing Commuter rail lines

Minneapolis, Minnesota - Southwest Light Rail Transit (SWLRT) project

As much as I like to see it happening, San Diego is too spread out geographically to make use of their rail projects effectively, unless you're really well situated on the lines. That said, it makes for a great way to explore the city for a day.
