Captain Planet for California High Speed Rail

* San Francisco to LA in 2.5 hours
* Trains would travel at 220mph
*450,000 new jobs for California
Help end our dependence on oil, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and BOOST our economy.
SF to LA = $24 each way
LA to SD = $18 each way
SAC to SJ = $20 each way
(estimated by CHSRA)
Traveling from San Francisco to Los Angeles takes at least 6 hours (without traffic) of being stuck behind the wheel. If you have the foresight to book a flight in advance, flying takes about an hour (if the flight isn't delayed), plus arriving an hour and a half early to an airport in the middle of nowhere so you can be treated like sheep as you're herded through security. By the time you've arrived in LA its been almost three hours, and you're still not at your destination!
High speed rail just makes sense. California's population is predicted to grow to over 50 million in the next 15 years, and our airports and highways will continue to become more and more crowded. High speed rail would unite California, just as it has united Western Europe and Japan.
In addition, high speed rail has been predicted to:
* create 450,000 jobs throughout the state
* result in 10,000 fewer auto accidents every year
* reduce carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to removing 1.4 million cars from the road
* generate enough revenue to pay for its construction cost in the long run
* reduce CO2 emissions by up to 17.6 billion pounds/year.
* Reduce Californias oil consumption by up to 22 million barrels/year
* result in denser development, limiting sprawl
* be less than half the cost of expanding freeways and airports to meet future intercity travel demand.
So what can you do to help? Tell your friends, most Californians don't even know high speed rail is a legitimate and practical solution for the future. Write your local state senator, assembly member.
Most importantly, VOTE YES for the California High Speed Rail bond on the November 2008 ballot!
