The Authority committed $714 million to Caltrain\u2019s Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project, nearly 40 percent of the total $2 billion cost, as part of its progress toward a fully electric statewide rail network.<\/p>\n<p>Late last month, regional rail system Caltrain transitioned away from old-fashioned diesel service to fully electric lines and high-performance electric cars on the 51-mile route between San Francisco and San Jos\u00e9. This is a milestone for the country and its fight for a climate-resilient future.<\/p>\n<p>The happy passengers who reviewed the new trains were among thousands of fans who had their interest sparked and decided to attend one of Caltrain\u2019s electric service launch parties, which were held at stops along the route.<\/p>\n<p>Passengers enjoy clear benefits from the quieter, smoother service, and it reduces noise impacts and air pollution in regions that have long suffered from both. Commuters will benefit from more frequent and more rapid service, as well as from upgrades to charging outlets, wi-fi, and signage.<\/p>\n<p>Both the current Caltrain cars and the future high-speed rail cars will run at speeds of up to 110 miles per hour on the blended tracks, up from the current top speed of 79 miles per hour. The services will ultimately end at Salesforce Transit Center once The Portal, the tunnel connecting the current rail terminal at 4th and King to the Center, is complete.<\/p>\n<p>The inauguration of the electrification project was first marked at an event in August where Authority CEO Ian Choudri joined Governor Gavin Newsom and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi to highlight the progress. \u201cCaltrain\u2019s project is an important piece to the bigger vision of electrified rail throughout California,\u201d noted Choudri.<\/p>\n<p>There are still more steps to be taken. Future modernization of the rail corridor will include extending electrification of the approximately 30 miles from San Jos\u00e9 to Gilroy, as well as upgrading infrastructure to increase public safety and passenger comfort.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58548\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Caltrain-Timeline-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58548\" class=\"wp-image-58548 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Caltrain-Timeline-1024x277.jpg\" alt=\"This chart shows the timeline for completion of Caltrain Electrification.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Caltrain-Timeline-980x265.jpg 980w, https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Caltrain-Timeline-480x130.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-58548\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Timeline for the completion of Caltrain Electrification.

The decal is an example of that, just a little more fun,\u201d Gilson said.<\/p>\n<p>Gilson says to calculate and achieve the 3D perspective, he drew upon his experience in stereoscopic imaging, a process by which two photographs of the same object taken at slightly different angles are viewed together, creating an impression of depth and solidarity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a thing called a phantogram within the stereoscopic community,\u201d Gilson explained. \u201cIt\u2019s the same thing. It\u2019s one-point perspective, even though it is a three-dimensional perspective view. It’s designed to be viewed from a single viewpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58541\" style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Salesforce-Decal.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58541\" class=\"wp-image-58541 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Salesforce-Decal-360x330.png\" alt=\"Photo of Northern California team with #ThePortalSFtoHSR interactive decal.\" width=\"360\" height=\"330\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-58541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Authority partnered with the TJPA for the public art installation and attended the unveiling at the Salesforce Transit Center.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This type of phantogram, or optical illusion, is a practice that goes back in history. Gilson said it reminds him of installations like Da Vinci\u2019s Last Supper painting on the wall in Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. It is designed so that when a viewer stands in a particular spot marked on the floor, they see the correct perspective of the scene matching the room they are standing in.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s current art landscape, people often see this artistic tool in chalk art. Gilson said he\u2019s never seen any organization employ a phantogram using a giant computer-generated printout on the sidewalk. #ThePortalSFtoHSR has drawn public attention to the project, including a feature in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/california-high-speed-rail-plans-3d-1969416\">Newsweek<\/a> and content by San Francisco transit influencers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@traingirlsummer\/video\/7418803353209031978?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7433849740955076138\">@Traingirlsummer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As a 3D model and animation designer with decades of experience in the Bay Area\u2019s transportation projects, such as the high-speed rail program, Caltrain electrification, and the Transbay Portal project, he hopes to make more fun and engaging installations for the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s great.

The most common question was, \u201cWhen can we ride?\u201d Many other members of the public sought out specific details on the funding status for the project, as well as the latest environmental and construction updates.<\/p>\n<p>A key issue for members of the public was the ongoing effort to prepare and modernize their local stations for future high-speed rail service. In San Mateo County, members of the public asked about the recent legal settlement reached between the City of Brisbane and the Authority. In Gilroy and San Jos\u00e9, visitors asked about the collaboration that is driving efforts to plan the next generation stations for high-speed trains. In San Francisco, members of the public asked about The Portal, TJPA\u2019s project to extend both high-speed rail and Caltrain for two miles to end 60 feet below the Salesforce Transit Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Authority is committed in keeping the public informed and involved as we work toward bringing high-speed rail to the Bay Area and the greater region,\u201d said Northern California Regional Director Boris Lipkin. \u201cExciting advancements have been made in 2024, including the completion of the electrification of the Caltrain corridor, a $3.4 billion federal funding commitment for Salesforce Transit Center, and full environmental clearance of the entire high-speed rail alignment from San Francisco to Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many guests were excited to engage on the technical details of the project. Professionals, students, and property owners all came to learn about the large maps called \u201croll-plots\u201d and how the track itself is designed. Other guests asked about the electrical rail systems, geo-technical engineering, and the projected challenges with bridges, viaducts, and tunnels.

The Authority contributed about $77 million to build the Rosecrans-Marquardt overpass, which opened to vehicle traffic in January 2024 and is scheduled to be completed in 2025.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Los Angeles to Anaheim Draft EIR Coming in 2025<\/strong><br \/>The Authority plans to release a draft EIR\/EIS for the Los Angeles-to-Anaheim section in the first half of 2025. The Authority\u2019s Board of Directors approved the Preferred Alternative for that section at a meeting in May 2024. That plan uses the existing shared Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) urban rail corridor. This corridor currently supports passenger and freight rail services including Metrolink, Amtrak, and BNSF Railway. The Authority seeks approval to build a fourth rail line between Los Angeles and Anaheim, primarily on right of ways already held and used by rail traffic. Two rail lines would be dedicated to passenger traffic while freight traffic would primarily use the other two lines, with occasional crossover to the passenger rails.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58552\" style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/WTS-Gala-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58552\" class=\"wp-image-58552 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/WTS-Gala-360x270.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-58552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Authority has a long-standing partnership with WTS-Los Angeles, which recently awarded Authority Information Officer Crystal Royval, pictured left, with a scholarship.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>WTS-Los Angeles Honors Authority Staff<\/strong><br \/>Public Information Officer Crystal Royval has worked with the Authority for nearly four years.

This year we were busier than ever as we met with more than a thousand people. We can\u2019t pick just one event to highlight, so here are a few.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mobility 21 Summit, September 20<\/strong><br \/>The California High-Speed Rail Authority and AECOM teamed up to host an interactive booth at the Mobility 21 Summit at Disneyland Hotel Resort, showcasing the future of high-speed rail in California. Visitors enjoyed a photo station featuring a backdrop of the Fresno Station rendering, complete with \u201cI Will Ride\u201d stickers as keepsakes, while AECOM\u2019s chocolate-chip cookies were a hit. The booth offered pop-up train models, conductor hats, and informative displays, igniting lively conversations about the project\u2019s progress and sustainable transportation. Authority staff connected with transportation professionals and attendees interested in learning more about upcoming opportunities, capturing the support for high-speed rail across California.<\/p>\n<p><strong>City of West Hollywood Mobility Expo, October 5<\/strong><br \/>The California High-Speed Rail Authority volunteered to support Move LA at the West Hollywood Mobility Expo on October 5 in Plummer Park. Our team connected with more than 60 community members interested in California\u2019s transit future. Attendees of all ages engaged with us at our table, exploring high-speed rail\u2019s role in creating eco-friendly, efficient travel options statewide. Staff-favorite acai bowls from Kale Me Crazy kept the energy up, fueling engaging discussions and positive feedback. West Hollywood Mayor John Erickson attended and spoke to the crowd; Vice Mayor Chelsea Byers stopped by our booth to recognize Move LA\u2019s contributions and highlight the city\u2019s commitment to a connected, sustainable future. <a href=\"https:\/\/wehotimes.com\/photos-weho-city-hosts-mobility-expo-at-plummer-park\/\">You can see photos from the event here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dia de los Muertos Celebration, October 19<\/strong><br \/>The Authority\u2019s Southern California team connected with more than 190 attendees at the Dia de los Muertos celebration at Gloria Grand Molina Park, where excitement for high-speed rail was clear. Conversations in English, Spanish, and Mandarin engaged visitors eager to hear project updates, many for the first time. Both young and older attendees showed enthusiasm, and the day included valuable exchanges: a local teacher interested in presentations, a workforce program coordinator inquiring about pre-apprenticeships, and civil engineers exploring partnerships. This vibrant event highlighted the Authority\u2019s commitment to connecting with California\u2019s diverse communities and their growing support for sustainable transit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UCLA ITE 7th Annual Career Fair, October 22<\/strong><br \/>The Authority joined UCLA\u2019s seventh Annual Transportation Career Fair at Ackerman Union, connecting with students interested in shaping California\u2019s transportation future. Aspiring civil engineers, urban planners, and public policy students visited our booth, where our staff shared insights into high-speed rail\u2019s transformative role in sustainable transit. The conversations highlighted the enthusiasm and commitment of the next generation of transportation professionals to innovate and improve California’s infrastructure.

Not every Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business is so fortunate. The Painters\u2019 work with Birds Eye came naturally. After he retired from service, Scott worked as a drone contractor for the military in Afghanistan. And Sheri has lived around the industry her whole life. \u201cMy dad was a FedEx pilot,\u201d she said. \u201cHe studied for training sessions with posters around the house that looked like the cockpit of his planes. There were flashcards and he had to call out steps in order and show where the switches and buttons are. I remember that. And Scott and I have been married a very long time, so it\u2019s just part of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Birds Eye hasn\u2019t worked on the high-speed rail project yet, the company features prominently in Southern California infrastructure work, and Sheri serves as the Veterans in Business (VIB) Network representative on the Authority\u2019s Business Advisory Council.<\/p>\n<p>The Painters are working on a pilot program (no pun intended) with LA Metro, flying over all 367 miles of their right of way to capture images.

It can be complicated sometimes, and that\u2019s why VIB\u2019s work is important. In the military, personnel are used to following orders and being responsible for a single area of expertise. In business, veterans need to handle everything from marketing to human resources to the actual work at hand. The Painters and VIB have a new mission: helping veterans get their own business off the ground to win contracts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI enjoy seeing other veteran businesses doing the same,\u201d Sheri said. \u201cI love that VIB brings corporate and government partners that want to work with you.

You wouldn\u2019t know that by the list of big-name projects they\u2019ve worked on.<\/p>\n<p>In Southern California, RSE has worked on the Blue Line for LA Metro and the Link Union Station project, as well as on-call work for Metrolink. With an office in Claremont, RSE has established itself as a one-stop shop for engineering services across the state.<\/p>\n<p>As the high-speed rail project prepares to lay down tracks in the Central Valley, it makes sense RSE will be involved. President Phil Leong smiles when he talks about how far the company he founded nearly 20 years ago has come.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pride here is that even though we\u2019re small, we\u2019re able to step in and support the larger companies,\u201d Leong said. \u201cLarger companies bring a lot of experience, but we\u2019re here locally, so we\u2019re familiar with California. We know the people here who are using the train. We understand what people are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The big companies are looking for RSE\u2019s experience. Leong\u2019s personal story informs his work as an engineer. He grew up in Hong Kong, where mass transit is favored over driving in cars. He\u2019s ridden high-speed rail in Europe and China.<\/p>\n<p>When he started RSE in the Bay Area nearly 20 years ago, he immediately brought his brother on board. He has a nephew who works in business development and another who works as a civil engineer.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_58584\" style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Phil-Leong-Caltrain-Cab.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58584\" class=\"wp-image-58584 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Phil-Leong-Caltrain-Cab-360x270.jpg\" alt=\"Phil Leong in the cab of a Caltrain train.\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-58584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leong is experienced with electrified rail systems, as RSE worked on the Caltrain Electrification project, which was completed in September 2024.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>What started as a family enterprise has blossomed into a registered Disadvantaged Business Enterprise that employs about 85 people. Their expertise and size have attracted some larger projects, Leong said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey recognized we\u2019re small and we\u2019re a smaller project team, so we can move fast,\u201d Leong said. \u201cThey wanted to move quickly, wanted a smaller company that could put together a plan quickly, and that\u2019s us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The track record speaks for itself. It makes sense, then, that RSE was chosen to help with the exciting steps of laying tracks and setting up the electric system for the initial operating segment in the Central Valley.<\/p>\n<p>After all, RSE has already done this kind of work for the Authority.<\/p>\n<p>When Caltrain moved to electrify its line in the Bay Area nearly a decade ago, Leong got the call to work on the project. That move paid off in the past few months as Caltrain started running all-electric trains from San Francisco to San Jose.<\/p>\n<p>That project was partially funded by the Authority, which contributed $714 million \u2014 about 40 percent of the total cost \u2014 to the project.<\/p>\n<p>With that work mostly done, Leong and RSE are turning their sites to the Central Valley, the next key component of the high-speed rail project. For a company that has helped build the transportation infrastructure of both Northern and Southern California, it\u2019s the logical next step in RSE\u2019s progression.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s been a lot of hard work over the last 20 years, and also now we see a lot of fruits of our labor,\u201d Leong said.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Upcoming Events”
