Description:

Imagine a brand-new transportation system connecting places in ways they have never connected before. Now imagine you have to gain political approval from diverse and polarized groups and local governments to build this system. This is exactly the task the state of California set for itself in constructing the High-Speed Rail (HSR). The current project asks how local governments are preparing for this new system given our car dominant culture and years of political opposition. Specifically, we ask how Central Valley communities are preparing for HSR construction and implementation while balancing multiple competing priorities and connecting with existing transportation systems. This research provides new insights into how preparation for the HSR looks for the communities on the ground who need to not only imagine this work, but make it happen.
