Two educational symposia on the
future of high-speed rail in California were co-sponsored by the Mineta
Transportation Institute, The Commonwealth Club of California, Town Hall-Los
Angeles, and the California State Automobile Association. The events were held
on July 17, 2003, in San Francisco and on July 18, 2003, in Los Angeles,
California, USA. The primary goal of the symposia was to introduce the general
public to the California High-Speed Rail Project. A presentation on the
project alternatives, costs, and revenues was followed by a panel discussion
on the issues and questions from the audience. The Secretary of the California
Business, Transportation and Housing Agency delivered the concluding keynote
speech, which also was followed by questions from the audience.
This publication is an abridged
summary of those events.
