The Southern California chapter of the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) will host an evening meeting to hear about California's High-Speed Rail Project. The almost $10 billion project was approved by voters in California in November 2008. High-speed trains (220 mph) will eventually link major cities in the state including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Jose, Fresno, and San Diego. A trip on the high speed train would take passengers from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 2.5 hours. Driving that distance is about a six hour drive.
When: Thursday, July 23, 2009 Time: 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Where: The Grand, Long Beach, California
Speaker: Dave Thomson, Project Manager for California High Speed Rail Authority
