2024년 9월 26일

당신이 알아야 할 것: California is building the nation’s first 220-mph electrified high-speed rail system powered by 100% renewable energy. The California High-Speed Rail Authority’s 2024 Sustainability Report highlights progress toward its public policy and industry-leading environmental, social, and economic priorities and commitments helping move the construction industry toward carbon neutrality.

캘리포니아 주 새크라멘토 – The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) today released its annual Sustainability Report. As an element of the Authority’s commitment to transparency and accountability, the report details the cumulative and annual progress the high-speed rail project has made on its social, economic and environmental goals in the last year as it builds one of the most significant, greenest public infrastructure projects in the nation.

올해 보고서에서 강조된 주요 이정표는 다음과 같습니다.

• Continuing to grow the number of small and disadvantaged businesses at work on the project; small businesses have increased by nearly 166% since 2015. The number of disadvantaged business enterprises has grown by 191% since 2015.
• Avoiding 110,000 pounds of criteria air pollutants, including short-lived climate pollutants, in 2023 alone, with more than 570,000 pounds of pollutants avoided since the start of construction.
• Continuing with preserving and restoring more than 4,400 acres of habitat; protecting more than 3,400 acres of agricultural land from development.
• Continuing to divert more than 95% of non-hazardous waste from landfills: 306,159 tons of 323,739 total were recycled or reused. In 2023 alone, we diverted 3,198 tons of the 4,445 tons of non-hazardous waste generated.
• Advancing station design and delivery to prioritize a phased build-out that brings value to communities and builds ridership. Additionally, keeping in touch with the core public: over 33,700 community members joined the 346 community meetings we’ve hosted.

당국은 현재 건설 중인 119마일을 머세드(Merced)에서 베이커스필드(Bakersfield)까지 미래의 전기 고속철도 171마일로 확장하는 작업을 시작했습니다. 현재 캘리포니아 센트럴 밸리에는 25개 이상의 활성 건설 현장이 있으며, 당국은 베이 지역에서 로스앤젤레스 시내까지 463마일에 달하는 고속철도 프로그램을 환경적으로 완전히 정리했습니다.

Since the start of high-speed rail construction, the project has created more than 14,000 good-paying construction jobs, a majority going to residents of the Central Valley. Nearly 1,500 workers are dispatched to a high-speed rail construction site daily.
