Marking significant progress toward modernizing California’s transportation infrastructure, the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) joined hundreds of supporters and government, student, community, transportation, business and labor leaders on January 6, 2015 to break ground on the nation’s first HSR system.
In addition to the support of federal, state and local dignitaries, there was strong backing from Central Valley and California-based construction crews, small businesses, and local students who were eager to highlight how HSR is positively affecting California today and will continue to into the future.
