  • Palmdale - Los Angeles

    Due to the large scope of the project – the largest public infrastructure project in the nation – the environmental review is being conducted in two parts: at the statewide level followed by a more specific project-level review of each of the nine sections of the system. Each project section is moving through this process at a different pace.

    The Palmdale to Los Angeles section of the 800-mile system is 58 miles long. This section travels southwest to Sylmar and then south to Los Angeles Union Station, where it will connect with the Los Angeles to Anaheim and Los Angeles to San Diego sections.

    The high-speed train project is expected to generate 125,000 construction-related jobs in Los Angeles County over the life of construction. Once operating, projections estimate 12,900 boardings daily in Palmdale and 14,100 in Los Angeles, with travel time between Palmdale and Los Angeles estimated at 28 minutes. CO2 emission savings are estimated at 45 lbs. per trip.

  • What's New?

    The Palmdale to Los Angeles team presented its Supplemental Alternatives Analysis Report to the Authority Board on March 3, 2011. While the technical team continues to study the entire section, the Board took action on the southern portion, from historic Los Angeles Union Station to Sylmar. The Board approved continued study of three alignments coming out of Union Station, all of which skirt many of the community resources in the built out area – including the LA River, LA (Cornfields) State Historic Park and Rio de Los Angeles State Park (Taylor Yard). The Board approved further study of the potential locations for an interim station in the San Fernando Valley area, including Burbank at Buena Vista Street near the airport, Branford Street in the city of Los Angeles, and in the city of San Fernando.  The technical team is working with the communities north of the San Fernando Valley from Sylmar to Palmdale on alignment alternatives and station options. 

    Check out the report below for information on alignment alternatives and stations options.  We look forward to hearing and let us know if you would like us to provide a briefing to your organization via email palmdale_los.angeles@hsr.ca.gov or phone (916) 324-1541.
