They should get in touch with Elon Musk and The Boring Company. Check out YouTube interviews about them. Whereas existing tunnel boring companies do the job at a cost between $100 million to $500 million a mile, Elon says his company can do the job between $3 million to $10 million a mile. Existing government projects are wasteful and use century old technology. The Boring Company currently has a tunnel contract near Los Angeles. Not a hyper loop, but the tech can be scaled up to a hyper loop between cities.

Not much to skim off the lower priced tunnel, so that one is out of the running.

From the second paragraph:
...a 157-page feasibility study released Monday in Cleveland by the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Inc.
"Hyperloop" IS the Elon Musk concept.

He also created and owns most of "The Boring Company." Wiki -->

"In early 2018, the Boring Company was spun out from SpaceX and into a separate corporate entity. Somewhat less than 10% of equity was given to early employees, and over 90% to Elon Musk. Subsequent concerns by SpaceX shareholders resulted in a December 2018 reallocation of 6% of the Boring Company's equity to SpaceX."

Maybe they should also watch Thunfderfoot shred Elon Husk’s bogus claims about tunnels and the Hyperloop, etc., in dozens of videos.
