Councilwoman Hahn Attends California High Speed Rail Event
Councilwoman Hahn and Governor Schwarzenneger at the High-Speed Rail Authority Press Conference
October 2, 2009
Today, I attended the California High-Speed Rail Authority's press conference to announce California's application for over $4.5 billion in federal stimulus funding to get the project built. In November, voters approved Prop 1A in order to finally bring a state-of-the-art high speed rail network to our state. This funding will be a major boost for the project, and will create much-needed jobs.
We've been very successful at moving goods in California, now we have to do better at moving people. High speed rail will be our ultimate people mover!
