After Board Approval, Bullet Train's Business Plan Moves to Legislature
The California High-Speed Rail Authority Board last week passed a 2012 revised $68.4-billion business plan that will provide for high-speed rail service within a decade, connect the state’s major metropolitan areas, utilize existing rail infrastructure in Northern and Southern California and provide earlier statewide benefits to commuters in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.
For the project to break ground, final approval is needed from the state legislature, which is scheduled to begin budget talks this week.
