Abstract High speed rail (HSR) is a rapidly expanding new transport mode all over the world and is often described as the “transport mode of the future”. This paper discusses definitions of high speed rail, provides an overview of high speed rail development in selected other countries and regions. It then analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of HSR in several different aspects, such as mobility, choice, environmental, safety, cost and regional feasibility. Based on the opportunities presented

expanding the local transit systems and upgrading sewer-water facilities. Though these effects are specific to foreign rail systems, conclusions can be drawn about potential effects of the high-speed rail development on California because cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Anaheim, Bakersfield, and Fresno mimic many of the cities specifically along the Japanese high-speed rail. If completed, the CAHSR would create many economic opportunities for both the residents of the Central Valley and

California High-Speed Rail High-speed rail is generally defined as trains capable of travelling at least 150 miles per hour. When the California High-speed Rail is completed, travelers can get on a train at the Transbay Transit Terminal in San Francisco and arrive at the Union Station in Los Angeles in two hours and forty minutes. The newly constructed high-speed rail in California is going to operate at over 200 miles per hour on average over the entire 800-mile system from San Diego in the south

Greenhouse Gas Reduction The California High Speed Rail Authority Claims about the systems environmental benefits are greatly overstated. As per Due Diligence Report, California HSR will cause very little reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions (CO2). The California Air Resources Board forecasts that the HSR would reduce CO2 emissions equal to only 1.5% of the current state objective. On the other hand the California High Speed Rail Authority has made an exaggerated claim of achieving “almost 50%”

Economics Development Impacts High Speed Rail Tom Kayo TMLT601, I001, Fall 15 American Public University Emmet Fritch December 26, 2015 Abstract This paper premise is the economic development impacts of transportation in general, as examined by Kumares, Sinha & Labi (2007). Multiple studies have revealed that investments in public transportation ultimately drives productivity and economic growth (Kumares, Sinha & Labi, 2007). This paper however will move away from highways

contracted to engineer, plan, and construct the first portion of the California High Speed Rail. The report further states that the positive impacts of implementing the California High Speed Rail are compared to other international High Speed Rails that have shown What Is HSR? When Was the HSR Authority Created and What’s its Purpose? The California High Speed Rail, nearly identical to China’s High Speed Rail, is a high speed rail system that will extend from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and eventually

flying cars, high-speed rail is one of the most iconic futuristic technologies discussed today. With great success, European and Asian countries such as Germany, France, Japan and China have been enjoying bullet trains for decades. Japan has been a leading innovator of high-speed trains, and has currently developed a train capable of 315 mph (Shadbolt). This MagLev is revolutionizing public transport and changing how the world view trains forever. The average European high-speed train can travel

federal and local governments. The reliability on private investors for capital funds is questionable approach. The California High Speed Rail Authority has received cautions from the state Senate Transportation and Housing Committee regarding the availability of matching funds for High Speed Rail construction. Most importantly the advisor of the California High Speed Rail Authority, Lehman Brothers has described the risks that are capable of restricting private investment in the project. These risks

California High Speed Rail High speed rail transportation has become an important issue in California that could potentially help our current transportation system and other environmental issues that need to be dealt with. This is an important issue to look into because currently our transportation system could be a lot more efficient using high speed rail instead of just the current car and air system that we have right now. Because of this there are a lot of potential benefits from the economic
