Document Description
With California's persistent congestion and growing demand for inter-city travel, the high-speed train is an attractive solution to meet future transportation needs. A Statewide Program EIR/EIS was certified in November 2005 and was the first phase of a tiered environmental review process for the proposed California high-speed train system planned to connect the major metropolitan areas of the state. This Draft Program EIR/EIS further examines the San Francisco Bay Area to Central Valley region as the second part of programmatic analysis in the tiered environmental review process and generally describes the environmental impacts of a proposed high-speed train system within the broad corridor between and including the Altamont Pass and Pacheco Pass. The document describes no-project and high-speed train alternatives (network alternatives, alignment alternatives, and station location options), and identifies potential impacts, benefits, and mitigation strategies.
