high-speed rail will run from San Francisco to Gilroy, sharing tracks with electrified Caltrain service before turning east through Pacheco Pass to connect to Merced County. The Authority completed environmental clearance for the entire Northern California alignment in 2022 and is preparing for advanced design as funding becomes available. The Authority is actively seeking additional funding to progress design work and begin critical geotechnical studies in the Pacheco Pass, a key step for linking to the Central Valley. In the meantime, the Authority is working closely with regional partners to deliver joint benefits projects aimed at modern, integrated and seamless connections with high-speed rail, such as Caltrain Electrification, The Portal, and a modern Diridon Station in San Jose.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Current Status of Northern Ca” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”100px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”100px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||-20px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Current Status of Northern California Section<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/hsr.ca.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/NorCal-website-2024-Overview-1920×600-01-scaled.jpg” alt=”Northern California Project Overview Details” title_text=”NorCal-website-2024-Overview-1920×600-01″ show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” transform_scale=”80%|80%” transform_scale_tablet=”80%|80%” transform_scale_phone=”80%|80%” transform_scale_last_edited=”on|tablet” transform_translate_tablet=”0px|35px” transform_translate_phone=”0px|35px” transform_translate_last_edited=”on|tablet” transform_translate_linked_tablet=”off” transform_rotate_tablet=”” transform_rotate_phone=”” transform_rotate_last_edited=”on|tablet” transform_skew_tablet=”” transform_skew_phone=”” transform_skew_last_edited=”on|tablet” transform_origin_tablet=”” transform_origin_phone=”” transform_origin_last_edited=”on|tablet” transform_styles_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin=”-40px||-50px||false|false” transform_styles_tablet=”” transform_styles_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Alignment and Stations” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Header – Alignment & Stations” module_id=”alignment-and-stations” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font=”|600||on|||||” background_color=”#22407D” transform_scale_tablet=”” transform_scale_phone=”” transform_scale_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_translate_tablet=”0px|40px” transform_translate_phone=”0px|40px” transform_translate_last_edited=”on|phone” transform_translate_linked_tablet=”off” transform_translate_linked_phone=”off” transform_rotate_tablet=”” transform_rotate_phone=”” transform_rotate_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_skew_tablet=”” transform_skew_phone=”” transform_skew_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_origin_tablet=”” transform_origin_phone=”” transform_origin_last_edited=”on|desktop” transform_styles_last_edited=”on|phone” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”||-2px||false|false” custom_padding=”10px||6px||false|false” transform_styles_tablet=”” transform_styles_phone=”” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Alignment & Stations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Northern California section will have stations in San Francisco, Millbrae, San Jos\u00e9, and Gilroy with direct connections to over a dozen<br \/>different transit providers serving all parts of the Bay Area.

existing Caltrain corridor. The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) invested about 1\/3rd of the cost of Caltrain\u2019s Electrification Project, which was completed in 2024. Additional high-speed rail upgrades in the corridor will include modifications at existing stations, a light maintenance facility, and upgrades to improve safety and speed along the corridor. The modern system brings high-speed rail infrastructure to the Peninsula which will allow for both operators to share tracks in a blended system. The service will ultimately run to the Salesforce Transit Center once it is connected to the existing rail corridor via The Portal Project, replacing Caltrain’s 4th and King Station as the northern terminus for electric and high-speed trains.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #8f267f;\">Status:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>San Francisco to San Jose was environmentally approved in 2022.<\/li>\n<li>Electrification of the Caltrain corridor is complete.

Also known as the Downtown Rail Extension project, The Portal Project will extend Caltrain\u2019s rail system to the multimodal Salesforce Transit Center in downtown San Francisco and ultimately bring the statewide California High-Speed Rail system into its northern terminus, connecting 11 transit systems in the Bay Area.

The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) invested about 1\/3rd of the cost of Caltrain\u2019s Electrification Project, which was completed in 2024. Additional high-speed rail upgrades in the corridor will include modifications at existing stations, a light maintenance facility, and upgrades to improve safety and speed along the corridor. The modern system brings high-speed rail infrastructure to the Peninsula which will allow for both operators to share tracks in a blended system. The service will ultimately run to the Salesforce Transit Center once it is connected to the existing rail corridor via The Portal Project, replacing Caltrain’s 4th and King Station as the northern terminus for electric and high-speed trains.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #8f267f;\">Status:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>San Francisco to San Jose was environmentally approved in 2022.<\/li>\n<li>Electrification of the Caltrain corridor is complete.

Also known as the Downtown Rail Extension project, The Portal Project will extend Caltrain\u2019s rail system to the multimodal Salesforce Transit Center in downtown San Francisco and ultimately bring the statewide California High-Speed Rail system into its northern terminus, connecting 11 transit systems in the Bay Area.
