HSR is central to our just & necessary transition to a green economy. Thousands of jobs, *sustainably* & collaboratively building an electrified 200+ mph & 100% renewably powered train, one of the greenest modes of fast mass transportation on this earth. #CleanGreenHSR #BuildHSR

California is building a greener future and working to end our dependence on oil. Our electrified high-speed rail will reduce gridlock, create more green jobs, and help our environment. This is the future of transportation in our state. #CleanGreenHSR

Beyond the Central Valley, @Caltrain electrification continues, which will allow for a blended system with Caltrain's new EMUs & our high-speed trainsets! Speaking of trainsets - we're showing off early designs through VR & our white mock-ups, along with 3D models of stations!

@owfowfa Hi there, this structure will take traffic over our alignment instead of having an at-grade traffic crossing. Structures like these reduce idling and improve safety for both trains and cars.

Technological advancement is important, but for the nation's first HSR system, we're delivering what's been proven with over 35,000 miles in operation globally. Our electrified HSR system will hit top speeds of 220mph and connect SF ↔️ LA in under 3 hours. #FactFriday #BuildHSR

We’re often asked how CA can afford to #BuildHSR , but the real question is: how can we afford NOT to build it? Meeting CA's travel capacity demands by widening freeways & building more airport runways is unsustainable, & could cost TWICE as much as building HSR. #FactFriday

Steph Curry & LeBron James are battling for California supremacy in the NBA playoffs. It got us thinking: Both teams have arenas a couple of miles from planned high-speed rail stations. How long would it take to get from one arena to the other by regular train, plane, & driving?
