Tell Sacramento: It’s time to move faster on high-speed rail.
California is building high-speed rail. Construction on the Central Valley initial operating segment is well underway.
The project needs to move faster—much faster.
Los Angeles – San Francisco high-speed rail will be the trunkline for a network of great trains and buses linking the entire state. Its payoffs will be felt in every corner of the state and every sector of the California economy.
And, success in California will create a tipping point for high-speed and regional rail across the country. That’s why the opposition has worked so hard to hamstring the project.
This project needs an all-in commitment by California’s governor and state lawmakers to get it done—as quickly as possible.
Here is what legislators can do to get the project on-track:
- Make a very public and unified commitment to getting trains running ASAP.
- Create a steady, predictable funding source.
- “Clear the deck” for permitting and right-of-way acquisition.
Too much is at stake to delay. Let’s get high-speed trains running as soon as possible. The sooner that California starts enjoying the benefits, the better.
Tell your leaders in Sacramento to finish the job.
