High Speed Rail: Future of the Fast Track
Ian Mitroff, Founder, Mitroff Crisis Management; Professor, UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design Paul Saffo, Managing Director, Foresight, Discern Analytics Will Kempton, CEO, Orange County Transportation Authority Additional Panelists TBA Prior to recent changes in the High Speed Rail Authority’s proposal for the controversial, multi-billion dollar project, critics had labeled prospects for high speed rail in California a “train to nowhere.” With a reduction in price tag of almost $30 billion and a new plan for connecting the Bay Area to Los Angeles, the project is regaining some traction.

Our panelists will provide a broad-based long- and short-term economic analysis of California’s high speed rail project and discuss lessons learned from systems already in operation worldwide.
