概述

High-speed rail is more than fast trips between the Bay Area and the Los Angeles region. It is the opportunity to connect the communities in between — Gilroy, Merced, Fresno, Bakersfield, Palmdale, and others — to the state’s largest job centers and innovation hubs in ways that expand access to opportunity.

Early commercial success and ancillary revenue generation create a durable pathway to expand and complete the system without relying exclusively on new public funding. This 2026 Business Plan outlines the first true revenue strategy for California high-speed rail.

This is a once-in-a-generation investment in California’s future.

Bold Solutions for a Bold Vision

The California high-speed rail will deliver fast, reliable, zero-emission train service connecting the state’s major economic regions and the Central Valley. The project will expand access to jobs, education, and affordable housing, while reducing emissions and providing an alternative to congested highways and airports. This 2026 Business Plan provides the most detailed and robust business case and roadmap yet for building California High-Speed Rail.

Graphic shows the vision of California High-Speed Rail. There is an image of dots connected by a line representing mobility, which reads Increase options and opportunities for where Californians can live and work by connecting affordable communities with job centers. Next is an image of a bar chart for economic growth that reads Create a corridor of opportunity for businesses and new technologies. Next is a map of California for Connection that reads,

 

Making the Vision a Reality – Merced to Bakersfield

As initiated in the 2025 Supplemental Project Update Report, rather than constructing a “full buildout” for initial service, the Authority’s strategy is to right-size initial delivery to control costs and begin service sooner, and then expand infrastructure as demand grows.

A graphic that shows the vision for the Merced to Bakersfield segment through multiple icons and text. The first is a piggy bank that represents savings and reads, “Rather than start with a full-capacity build, the Authority saved $2 billion in the Merced-Bakersfield segment by focusing on initial service.” The next is a train that represents trips per day and reads, “Initial service will begin with a planned 8 trips per day in both directions.” The next is tracks that represents tracks that reads, “The Authority will begin laying down tracks in 2026 and the first sets of trains will be ordered.” The next is a ticket that represents fare service and reads, “With tracks and electric system installation in 2026, the Authority anticipates train testing lasting 2 years with fare service from Merced to Bakersfield beginning in 2033.” Finally, there is a road traveling under a viaduct that represents safety and reads, “The project is already having a positive impact on road safety, with dozens of new overcrossings opening throughout the area.”
