System Map
This map shows the phased implementation of the California High-Speed Rail system. Phase 1 of the project will connect San Francisco to Anaheim via the Central Valley in less than three hours. Phase 2 will extend the system to Sacramento and San Diego.
Work has begun to extend the 119-mile Central Valley segment currently under construction to 171 miles from Merced to Bakersfield. Phase 1 is environmentally cleared, and we are collaborating with our regional partners and funding various projects, including grade separations in Northern and Southern California.
The 494-mile Phase 1 system involves segments between the following cities: San Francisco, San José, Gilroy, Merced, Madera, Fresno, Kings/Tulare, Bakersfield, Palmdale, Burbank, Los Angeles, and Anaheim. Phase 2 will include stops in Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, San Bernardino, Riverside, and San Diego.
