Managing the Economic and Environmental Impacts

Construction will begin soon in the San Joaquin Valley on “Phase 1” of the $68.4 billion high speed rail system. What will the impact be on the Valley’s cities, farms, and pocketbooks? How can Valley leaders ensure that the system maximizes the economic and environmental benefits for residents? This event will discuss these issues and offer policy ideas to address the challenges. UCLA and UC Berkeley Schools of Law will also release a joint report at the event on this topic, entitled “A High Speed Foundation.”
