  • Have you ever wanted to spend a fun weekend in LA, but dreaded 
the 12-hour roundtrip drive?  Hate schlepping to an airport and 
going through Security for what’s basically a puddle jump?  Within 
the foreseeable future, we’ll have an exciting option of traveling to
 
Los Angeles in less than 2 hours, enjoying the comforts of a bullet 
train.  Join us for the February Monthly Speaker Meeting to gain an 
insider’s perspective of what it’s going to take to make this new 
service a reality!

Established in 1996, the California High-Speed Rail Authority is 
charged with the planning, designing, constructing and operating 
a state-of-the-art high-speed train system.

The proposed system stretches from San Francisco, Oakland and 
Sacramento in the north -- with service to the Central Valley -- 
and to Los Angeles and San Diego in the south. With bullet trains 
operating at speeds up to 220 mph, the express travel time from 
downtown San Francisco to Los Angeles would be just under 2 hours. 
Intercity travelers (trips between metropolitan regions) along with 
longer-distance commuters would enjoy the benefits of a system 
designed to connect with existing rail, air and highway systems. 

On June 13, 2006, the State Senate appointed the Honorable 
Quentin L. Kopp to the California High Speed Rail Authority, 
charged with implementing high rail service from Los Angeles 
to San Francisco at 200 miles per hour.  He was elected chair-
person of the Authority on August 9, 2006.
