Summary

High-Speed Rail Development Act of 1993 - Amends the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976 to authorize the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) to designate as a high-speed rail corridor (HSR Corridor): (1) any corridor that serves two or more major metropolitan areas where high-speed rail offers the potential for cost-effective intercity public transportation; (2) upon application of a State Governor, any intercity rail corridor designated as a high-speed rail corridor under the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991; and (3) any intercity rail corridor (other than the mainline of the corridor improved under title VII of such Act) that includes a significant segment where rail passenger service operates at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour. Requires designated public agencies seeking financial assistance for development of an HSR Corridor to submit to the Secretary a corridor master plan identifying a coordinated program of improvements to permit the establishment of high-speed rail service in the corridor. Authorizes the Secretary to enter into financial assistance agreements with public agencies to fund eligible improvements to the infrastructure of an HSR Corridor for the purpose of developing high-speed rail service. Authorizes the Secretary to undertake research and development of steel-wheel-on-rail technologies for commercial application in high-speed rail service. Authorizes appropriations.
