[Webinar] New State Rail Plan Explained: A vision for an integrated, cohesive California rail network

The newly released State Rail Plan lays out strategies that can significantly impact how Californians and visitors get around the state - and can make California a place that's easier for everyone to get around in an affordable, low-carbon, safe, and accessible way.

The plan establishes a long-term vision for an integrated, cohesive statewide rail system that offers passenger and freight service and helps achieve California's mobility, economic, and climate goals.

Tune into this webinar to learn about the plan from California State Transportation Agency staff. Researchers and advocates will give their reaction to the updated plan including cost analysis, the political changes needed to implement reforms, and upcoming funding and reform opportunities.
