Community Open Houses: All ABOARD

May 16 - JUNE 30, 2011

The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) will host a series of community open houses in a location near you to share the results of the Preliminary Alternatives Analysis (PAA) Report. The PAA Report is the first step in a two-step process to identify the range of alternatives to be carried forward for detailed engineering and the Environmental Impact Report/ Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS). The next step will be the Supplemental Alternatives Analysis Report, which will be completed in 2011-2012. The goal of the open houses is to present current plans and obtain your input before CHSRA initiates the detailed environmental/engineering analysis later in 2012 (subject to funding availability). Agency and public input will be used in the ongoing refinement of alignment alternatives, station locations and design options.

Potential Route Alternatives & Stations

The California High Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) has released the Preliminary Alternatives Analysis Report for the Los Angeles to San Diego via the Inland Empire Section. The (PAA) report recommends that these potential rail corridor alternatives and station options be carried forward for further evaluation. For complete documentation of the PAA Report, please click here.

Please plan on attending any Open House Meeting in your area.
