California High-Speed Rail featured at the Conference on California's Future
With the passage of Proposition 1A in November, Californians have approved funding for the first-in-the-nation high-speed train system. The 220 mph trains will be available to 90 percent of California's population and will span from San Diego in the south, through the Central Valley and north to San Francisco and Sacramento.
California High-Speed Rail Authority Chairman Judge Quentin Kopp is a featured speaker at the Sustainable Infrastructure Summit held during the Conference.
Judge Kopp was recently named as one of the world's most significant infrastructure leaders at the 2008 Global Infrastructure Forum in Washington DC.
America's first high-speed train system will honor the spirit and build upon the hard work of those who createed California's pioneering transportation system decades ago. Now our task is to meet the transportation and economic needs of the next generation. Our vision is to reduce traffic congestion, protect our environment and jumpstart our economy to the tune of half a million new jobs.
