NEWS RELEASE: High-Speed Rail Authority Issues Draft 2026 Business Plan for Public Review and Comment

Streamlining efforts cut Phase 1 costs by $1.7 billion, delivering high-speed rail faster and more efficiently

February 28, 2026

ANONG KAILANGAN MONG MALAMAN: The Authority’s Draft 2026 Business Plan lays out a clear plan to connect key regions of California by right-sizing the high-speed rail project to deliver service as quickly and economically as possible. Throughout construction, the California High-Speed Rail has created more than 16,400 good-paying construction jobs and generated nearly $25 billion in economic impact and growth across the state.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) today issued its Draft 2026 Business Plan for 60-day public review and comment. The overall projected cost for Phase 1 delivery, between San Francisco and Los Angeles/Anaheim, dropped by $1.7 billion due to streamlining efforts aimed at making high-speed trains a reality as quickly and economically as possible.

Through partnerships, proposed private financing, and legislative changes, the Authority has laid out a clear, cost-effective approach to taking travelers from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The Authority also envisions creating new revenue streams through real estate development, ancillary projects, and initial fare service that will help pay for the delivery of transformative transportation.

Tom Richards, Chair

“The Draft 2026 Business Plan sets out the path forward: completion of Merced to Bakersfield, expansion to major population centers for revenue positive service, and early asset commercialization to produce additional revenue to build out high-speed rail. It explains how we build from progress underway, prioritize investments that produce early and durable commercial benefits, and create the conditions for long-term financial strength and private-sector participation as the system expands.”

Authority Board Chair Tom Richards

Based on proven global best practices for development of high-speed rail, the Draft Business Plan includes policies and implementation tools that would help speed the delivery of high-speed rail.
