2025 Project Update Report

This is the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s (Authority) 2025 Project Update Report that was submitted to the Legislature on March 1, 2025. It fulfills the Authority’s requirement to update the California Legislature biennially on the development and implementation of intercity high-speed rail service. The Authority is undergoing a comprehensive effort to update its design criteria, scope, cost, procurement strategy, ridership, and schedule. These updates will be submitted to the Legislature later this year.

Within the 2025 Project Update the Authority has provided:

  • CEO Ian Choudri’s vision for California high-speed rail and objectives going forward
  • Accomplishments since the 2024 Business Plan
  • Updated funding and expenditure figures

Cov Lus Los Ntawm tus CEO

  • My focus is clear: Utilize my background to analyze every aspect of this project to deliver this system efficiently and effectively.
  • The Authority must engage with industry to accelerate delivery and refine our approach. Building off a successful Industry Forum event with more than 400 attendees, we will continue to seek global feedback for subject matter experts.
  • We must fundamentally shift how we deliver the system by maximizing efficiency, operating like a business, preventing costly delays, and structuring the Authority into a project delivery team.
  • Strategic actions to accelerate construction that we are looking into include refining procurement, executing master agreements with local government and third parties, and updating the Authority’s Design Criteria Manual to standardize our approach.
  • To achieve full system connectivity, we must secure stable, long-term funding. We will be actively engaging with the state and federal governments, as well as seeking opportunities for public-private partnerships.
