February 9, 2024

カリフォルニア州サクラメント –The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) today issued its draft 2024 Business Plan for public review and comment. The 2024年事業計画案 reaffirms the Authority’s goal of advancing a clean, electrified high-speed rail in California.

The plan discusses major program progress in Northern California, the Central Valley and Southern California, as well as updates on federal funding, ridership and construction status.  It also maintains cost and schedules from the 2023 Project Update Report, released 11 months ago.

Highlights between the 2023 Project Update Report and this draft 2024 Business Plan include:

• The Authority was awarded $3.3 billion in new federal funds to advance the work on the initial operating segment between Merced and Bakersfield.
• The Authority is advancing necessary procurements to move the project from construction into operations, including purchasing electrified trains and designing the track and systems needed for passenger service.
• The first construction package (CP 4) covering 22.5 miles in the Central Valley reached substantial completion.
• The Authority’s construction jobs exceeded 12,200 in 2023 and set records for the number of daily workers on the job sites.
• The designs for the extensions to Merced and Bakersfield, as well as the four Central Valley stations, are on schedule, meeting contract milestones for 2023.
