The company and the Missouri Department of Transportation announced on Tuesday that a public-private coalition has formed to reconsider a route in Missouri.
The coalition aims to conduct a feasibility study of a route linking Kansas City, Columbia and St. Louis along the Interstate 70 corridor.
Hyperloop One estimates a route from Kansas City to St. Louis would take 31 minutes to traverse.
