California High-Speed Rail Authority Business Plan 2026
The 2026 Business Plan for the California High-Speed Rail Authority provides a strategic roadmap for delivering fast, reliable, and zero-emission train service, aiming to transform the state's future. The plan focuses on three key drivers: creating a corridor of economic opportunity through public-private partnerships and asset commercialization, achieving efficient project delivery with optimized costs, and securing long-term funding and financing options. It outlines the path for completing the Merced-Bakersfield segment, expanding service to major population centers for revenue-positive operations, and leveraging private investment to accelerate the full system build-out, thereby promoting economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social equity.
