Old Dominion University maglev: In 1999, Old Dominion University agreed to work with American Maglev of Atlanta to construct an on-campus student transportation link of less than 1-mile (1.6 km) — using a smart train / dumb track design in which most sensors, magnets, and computation were located on the train rather than the track.

In the "Maryland Transportation Administration" document [7] on page 42, marked "Page MTA-38" in the lower-right hand corner is a listing for the Maglev System Study which lists under description: "Feasibility study and preparation of environmental documentation involved with operating magnetic levitation trains between Baltimore and Washington ...
Northeast Maglev (formally, The Northeast Maglev, LLC) is a private U.S. company proposing a maglev train system in the Northeastern United States. [2] The company aims to use the SCMaglev superconducting maglev system developed by the Central Japan Railway Company to provide 15-minute service between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., with an intermediate stop at BWI Airport, and ultimately ...
The California–Nevada Interstate Maglev project was a proposed 269 mi (433 km) Maglev train line from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Anaheim, California. One segment would run from Las Vegas to Primm, Nevada, with proposed service to the Las Vegas area's forthcoming Ivanpah Valley Airport. The top speed would be 310 mph (500 km/h). [2]
A vactrain (or vacuum tube train) is a proposed design for very-high-speed rail transportation. It is a maglev (magnetic levitation) line using partly evacuated tubes or tunnels. Reduced air resistance could permit vactrains to travel at very high ( hypersonic ) speeds with relatively little power—up to 6,400–8,000 km/h (4,000–5,000 mph).
Transport System Bögl (TSB) is a maglev system for driverless trains developed by the German construction company Max Bögl since 2010. Its primary intended use is for short to medium distances (up to 30 kilometres (19 mi)) and speeds up to 150 kilometres per hour (93 mph) for uses such as airport shuttles.
