California has ambitious plans to electrify 1,500 miles of railway over the next 25 years, but is it really going to happen?
Join us and @calelectricrail.org tomorrow @ 6pm to learn how Italy achieved faster, electric train service - and lessons for the US.

Interested in learning more about the history of High-Speed Rail in California? We just published a video doing a deep dive into the subject. If you've found some of the recent posts about the subject here interesting, we think you'll like the video too! youtu.be/OVq6-5Jt4Jo
Is California High-Speed Rail STILL Important?

The Pacific Surfliner - America's 2nd most ridden rail corridor - will shutdown for 6 weeks between Irvine and Oceanside starting Monday to reinforce the line. These repairs are important, but giving 3 days notice is unacceptable for a non-emergency shutdown. www.pacificsurfliner.com/plan-your-tr...

Today, Trump DOT Secretary Sean Duffy announced he is auditing California High Speed Rail, in what is clearly a pretext to revoke $4 billion in federal funding, like Trump did last time. But is Duffy right about HSR's problems? Here's why not: 🧵 www.transportation.gov/briefing-roo...

Yesterday, I introduced legislation to speed up permitting & construction & reduce costs for high speed rail & other public transportation projects in California. We’re not going to let Mad King Trump get us down:
I introduced new legislation to speed up permits for public transit projects, including high speed rail.
When transit agencies build bus or rail lines, they’re often delayed by local governments or utilities that delay or fail to grant a permit.
It’s a big problem & causes delays/cost escalation.🧵

For highway projects, states only pay 20% and federal government pays the rest, but for California High Speed Rail the ratio is flipped around - 80% comes from state government.

Huge win for electric rail: Chad Edison of CalSTA says final draft of the State Rail Plan will include 1500 mi of all day, frequent, bidirectional electrified rail service in 2050- a massive improvement over the H2-heavy draft. Rail advocates: your voice matters! bart.granicus.com/player/clip/...
