What Is California High-Speed Rail?
California high-speed rail is an ambitious public transportation project approved by California voters in 2008 during the 4 November general election. Proposals for a high-speed rail system in California had been floated since at least 2005, with an acceleration of interest in 2007 which culminated in the voter approval of Proposition 1A, a bond act which approved a money-raising effort for the project. As of 2009, groundbreaking on the California high-speed rail project was expected to start between 2011 and 2012.
