Los Angeles to Anaheim

On November 2, 2023, the Authority issued a Supplemental Alternatives Analysis (SAA) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section of the California High-Speed Rail Project. The Authority prepared this SAA to evaluate new alternatives that would eliminate the need for the BNSF Intermodal Facility in San Bernardino County included in the August 25, 2020, Revised Notice of Intent. The SAA proposes to advance the Shared Passenger Track Alternative for further consideration within the draft environmental documents (EIR/EIS). The Shared Passenger Track Alternative generally resembles the 2018 High-Speed Rail (HSR) Project Alternative and, among the new alternatives studied within the SAA, best meets the Project’s purpose and need by serving the most potential passengers in the most cost-effective manner, while also reducing impacts to the environment, existing rail operations, and communities.
