SACRAMENTO, Calif. –The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) today issued its draft 2024 Business Plan for public review and comment. The dự thảo Kế hoạch kinh doanh 2024 reaffirms the Authority’s goal of advancing a clean, electrified high-speed rail in California.

• 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.
