NEWS RELEASE: California High-Speed Rail Launches Process to Draw in Private Investors

California High-Speed Rail solicits industry to bring private partner consortium on board by summer 2026

December 23, 2025

加利福尼亞州薩克拉門托—— On December 19, the California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) initiated a process to bring private investors and developers to the Authority by summer 2026 in an effort to deliver the nation’s first true high-speed rail project faster, smarter, and evaluate new strategies to commercialize assets through private investment at the earliest possible opportunity, supporting future high-speed rail segment delivery.

The Authority’s issuance of a Request for Qualifications for a Co-Development Agreement (CDA) is aimed at selecting a private partner to evaluate opportunities to invest and deliver the project faster and more efficiently, while commercializing assets (e.g. station facilities, track access, fiber, power, real estate, and others) at the earliest possible opportunity.

This recent solicitation is informed in part by the Authority’s June 2025 Request for Expression of Interest (RFEI), which yielded valuable feedback about the potential for public private partnerships and driving creative solutions to more efficiently deliver the nation’s first high-speed rail project.

This solicitation follows last month’s invitation to industry to bid on laying electrified track and systems.

高鐵進展

Work continues daily on the high-speed rail project, with 171 miles currently under design and construction from Merced to Bakersfield. Nearly 80 miles of guideway are complete, along with nearly 60 fully completed major structures, and more than 30 more structures underway across Madera, Fresno, Kings and Tulare counties.

該項目繼續在全州範圍內推進，舊金山至洛杉磯/阿納海姆 494 英里長的系統中的 463 英里已完全完成環境清理並準備施工。

自開工以來，該項目已創造了近16,400個高薪就業崗位，其中大部分由中央谷地居民擔任。每天有多達1700名工人前往高鐵施工現場。
