The California High Speed Rail project was approved by California voters on November 4, 2008 with the passage of Proposition 1A authorizing US $9.95 billion for the project.  The project is headed by California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA). 

The CHSRA is currently tasked with completing final planning, design, and environmental efforts. When built, high-speed trains capable of 220 mph (350 km/h) are anticipated to link San Francisco and Los Angeles in two and a half hours.
