California High-Speed Rail Update Sets Out Path to 2039 Connections

The California High-Speed Rail Authority has released a supplemental update to its 2025 Project Update Report, setting out a pathway to connect the state’s major population centres through high-speed rail.

The plan outlines a phased approach to completing connections to Northern Los Angeles County at Palmdale and to the electrified Caltrain system via Gilroy, while continuing construction in the Central Valley.
