Panel Discussion: Building the Foundation for High-Speed Rail in Southern California
With the historic commitment by the State Legislature to fund high-speed rail, including early investments in projects that lay the foundation for high-speed rail in urban areas, Southern California leaders and the California High-Speed Rail Authority are currently exploring the next generation of rail improvements in the Basin and beyond.
Californians For High Speed Rail and our event partners are excited to facilitate a panel discussion to explore the emerging rail network in Southern California and how that ties in with high-speed rail, what projects are being considered for early investments, where we are in the planning process, and efforts to find additional funding to accelerate these critical investments. You won’t want to miss this!
