California is home to 1 in 10 Americans. Two thirds of those Californians live along a single 600-mile stretch from the Bay Area through the Central Valley to Los Angeles and San Diego. It's no secret that traffic in California is terrible and airports are a huge hassle – which is why California is building a new high-speed train that will take millions of people where they need to go with ease.
But what’s actually happening with the project? What progress has been made, when can we expect to start using it, and what roadblocks can be cleared out of the way to get the high-speed trains running sooner in California?
Tune in to this webinar to get re-introduced to America’s largest infrastructure project under construction, learn how it’s already improving the lives of millions of Californians, and see what we can all do to help get it built sooner.

Although enormous progress has been made on California's High-Speed Rail -- which is the largest infrastructure project underway in the whole country -- it's no secret that things are progressing slower than people would like.From lawsuits, powerlines, absent judges, the Trump administration, and governors & state lawmakers sitting on the sidelines and much more, the project has faced all sorts of obstacles.
Tune in to learn more about what the hold ups have been, which have been overcome, what hurdles still stand in its way, and what people across California can do to help get the project done sooner, better, and at lower costs.
