4. California’s Commitment
• $9 billion down payment by voters
• 10 years/$100 million invested to plan route and
complete Program-level EIR/EIS
• $950 million committed to urban, intercity and
commuter rail lines
• Requirements for extensive oversight and fiscal
controls
5. California’s High-Speed Train –
Unmatched Progress in the
U.S.
• Program-level EIR/EIS completed for 800-mile
system
• Up to 220 MPH linking Southern California, the
Central Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area
• International peer review of design, engineering and
operations analyses
• Unprecedented collection of the world's leading
experts
6. California’s High-Speed Train
The Need
• Without a high-speed train to meet demand of 50 million
Californians by 2035, the state would need:
• 3000 miles of new freeway lanes
• Five new airport runways
• 90 new departure gates
• High-speed train will meet the demand at half the cost
• Creates 600,000 construction-related jobs
• More than 320,000 direct and indirect permanent jobs
by 2035
7. California’s High-Speed Train
Environmental Benefits
• 100% clean electric power
• 1/3rd the energy of airplanes
• 1/5th the energy of passenger cars
• Reduced dependence on foreign oil by 12.7 million
barrels a year
• Greenhouse gases cut by 12 billion pounds a year
8. California’s High-Speed Train
Financial Benefits
• Will return $150 billion -- about 3X value over system
cost -- in next 40 years from
• Requires no operating subsidies
• Will generate over $2 billion in surplus revenues a year
by 2035
• Will leverage private investment through public-private
partnerships
9. California’s High-Speed Train
Timeline
2010-2012
• Complete environmental process in Los Angeles/Anaheim to San
Francisco sections. Break ground on early project elements.
2015
•Begin demonstrating first prototype trainsets.
2018-2020
• Launch operation on San Francisco to Los Angeles/Anaheim segments.
10.
11. High-Speed Train Target
Deliverables by 2012
• Specific Projects within:
• Los Angeles to Anaheim corridor
• San Francisco to San Jose corridor
• Rights of way / preparation for heavy maintenance facility
in Central Valley
• Pre-construction engineering

13. California’s Intercity Rail
Network
• With nearly 5.6 million passengers, California’s current
intercity network:
• Home to the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th busiest intercity passenger rail
corridors in the country
• Comprises 20 percent of all Amtrak passengers
• Represents nearly half of the total ridership of Amtrak’s
state-supported intrastate, intercity services
• Parallels congested interstates
• Kept more than 500 million vehicle miles traveled off state roadways in
2008
• Provides both stand alone utility and connectivity and
integration with the high-speed rail system

20. The California Commitment:
Financial Investment
• Consistent funding has resulted in nation’s most
successful program
• Nearly $2 billion in State capital invested to date—half in direct
investments in tracks and signals owned by freight railroads
• Ongoing investment program—bonds voted in November 2006 and
November 2008—including $9 billion for true high speed rail (200+ mph)
• Consistent operating support even during difficult economic times:
• Since 1976, $880 million
• In the 2008-09 year alone, $90 million
21. The California Commitment:
Planning
• California’s rail network reflects a long-range, coordinated planning
process
• Corridor specific “Strategic Plans” — Long-term (20 year) vision of
frequencies, running times, reliability, and amenities.
Includes unconstrained cost estimates of capital and operational
improvements to achieve vision.
• State Rail Plan— Based on Corridor Strategic Plans and State
Transportation Plan, a 10 year financially constrained plan of
operational and capital improvements. Updated every two years.
• State Transportation Improvement Program—Five year capital
budget updated every two years.
• Corridor Business Plans — Annual operational and capital plans.
22. The California Commitment:
Ready to Deliver!
• Documented history of ability to deliver intercity rail
projects-- $650 million since 2000
• Projects identified and coordinated with freight railroad
partners—priorities based on modeling
• Master Construction and Maintenance Agreements in
place with Freight Railroads and Commuter partners
23. The California Commitment:
Ready to Deliver!
• “Track 1” projects developed and design completed.
State-level environmental and permitting completed and
projects being “NEPA-ized”
• “Track 1” projects will offer immediate improvements to
the existing system and enhance development of
high-speed network
• “Track 2” projects will further help development of
California’s high speed rail system
