SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is, and always will be, at the core of the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s (Authority) mission. We remain dedicated to the goal of creating the greenest infrastructure project in the nation, both in its operations and its construction.

カリフォルニアが経済的地位、雇用創出、気候変動の影響と戦うための取り組みに関して世界的リーダーとしての地位を維持するためには、米国初の真の高速鉄道システムを構築することが不可欠です。この将来に備えたシステムは、100％の再生可能エネルギーを動力源とする高速列車を備えており、州の人口が5,000万人に増加しても、カリフォルニア州民が効率的かつ効果的に移動できるようにします。

持続可能性という用語は、多くの場合、耐える能力として定義されます。持続可能性は、取られた行動の影響を考慮した意思決定を意味します 今, on future generations. When developing major infrastructure for the California High-Speed Rail Program, program designers must consider environmental, economic, political, and cultural factors that safeguard the capacity of future generations to enjoy quality life.

Sustainability Policies

The Authority is committed to building a high-speed rail system that minimizes impacts to both the natural and built environment, encourages compact land development around transit stations, and helps California manage its pressing issues with climate change, traffic and airport congestion, and energy dependency. The Authority has adopted policies and published several documents that confirm a commitment to sustainable development.
