Californians for High Speed Rail (CA4HSR) is creating a series of events with local partners in the major regions of California where high-speed rail will operate. The purpose of these events is to get businesses and local leaders as well as the California High-Speed Rail Authority together to talk about the opportunities and challenges the high-speed rail projects presents to their particular area. California is a big state, and the opportunities and challenges - and players - vary from area to area.
