October 2022 I Will Ride Update
Greetings I Will Riders,
As you move through your semester and towards midterms, mark your calendars for great scholarship opportunities for students studying transportation and rail. Once you get through those scholarship apps, check out some of the news from our October Board Meeting as we advance station planning for the nation’s first ever high-speed rail stations!
Nation’s First High-Speed Rail Stations to Begin Design
The Authority Board of Directors unanimously approved awarding the design and support services contract for the Merced, Fresno, Kings/Tulare and Bakersfield stations that will serve high-speed rail passengers on the initial 171-mile segment. The contract award will go to Foster + Partners and Arup (F+P Arup) who will be responsible for advancing the design work at the four station sites. This includes identifying right-of-way and utility relocation requirements necessary for construction, and to progress to final design and construction ready documents. You can read additional details in the press release below. Additionally, Tim Sheehan from the Fresno Bee ran a story on the awarding of the contract.

The California High-Speed Rail Authority is setting a new green standard for transportation and infrastructure projects nationwide. At the Authority, we define sustainability comprehensively and know that it includes environmental, social and political factors. Such sustainability efforts include requiring our major contracts to hire nationally targeted local employees, requiring contractors to use the cleanest construction equipment, building a rail system that will be fully electric, running on renewable energy and working closely with station communities to create smart, green and connected station sites. Our annual Sustainability Report details our goals, policies, reporting and sustainability initiatives.
Authority Applies for Federal Grant for Grade Separations
This month, the California High-Speed Rail Authority applied for $67 million in federal grant money to advance high-speed rail construction towards Bakersfield. The funds will be used to create new grade separations at six at-grade crossings along the BNSF freight railroad. Grade separations allow for vehicle traffic to be completely separated from a rail line, by either going above or below the tracks. The six grade separations, which are primarily being built in the city of Shafter, will improve safety along the existing freight rail corridor.
Students Can Earn Prizes for Transportation Projects and Innovation
For students in early elementary school, the Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI) Elementary Poster Contest allows students, grades 1 to 6, to demonstrate their knowledge of the year’s transportation theme through an artistic, visually compelling image. That image should encourage, inspire, and/or convey a message to others about the theme.
For middle school and high school students, MTI hosts an Essay Contest inviting students, grades 6 to12, to propose and explore a solution to a problem centered around a specific theme each year under one or more of the following principles of transportation: sustainability, equity, safety, community, and innovation.
