Abstract

This report has met two objectives: 1. The state's existing intercity rail corridors have been evaluated for potential upgrading in terms of estimated costs, travel times, and population projections. 2. The most promising existing rail and "new-corridor" alternatives for high-speed service between downtown Los Angeles and downtown San Francisco have been compared and analyzed in terms of costs, travel times, and population projections.
