California Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed legislation that appropriates $4 million from the High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Fund to the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA).
The funds are being made available by Proposition 1A, a $9.95 billion bond measure approved by California voters in November 2008 to help fund the statewide high-speed rail program.
CHSRA will use the funds to advance work on the system's Los Angeles-San Diego segment.
“We will now be able to move forward with the conceptual engineering, which includes refining the alternative alignments introduced to the Los Angeles-to-San Diego via the Inland Empire section, and work cooperatively with communities to make improvements to the route,” said CHSRA Chairman Thomas Umberg in a prepared statement.
