So thankful to everyone who came out for this! Let’s #FinishTheLine! 🚇📢👏🏻
Come say hi on Thursday morning & grab coffee, pastries, & Metro K line swag before your work day while supporting the K Line Northern Extension (new rail to Mid City, WeHo, & Hollywood) + the San Vicente-Fairfax route that would serve more riders, jobs, and destinations. Let’s #FinishTheLine! 🚇📢🪧
"The Powerless Brokers" identifies over $50 million in cost overruns and 5 years of delay on California High-Speed Rail related to 3rd party permit issues in just two Central Valley cities. To #FinishTheLine, we need to streamline 3rd party permits for HSR - and #SB445 is a great start.
AB 131, which just passed with the budget, exempts High Speed Rail design changes and maintenance facilities from CEQA. Now the legislature just needs to guarantee fixed Cap and Trade $$ to enable private investment, get HSR out of the valley, and #FinishTheLine! #FundHighSpeedRail
Our work to improve access to future Metro K Line stations in WeHo was recognized by the American Planning Association last night with a Transportation Planning Merit Award! Let’s #FinishTheLine 🚇🚴♂️🚍✨ wehotimes.com/west-hollywo...
Yet another piece of infrastructure critical for safe operation at 220 mph in progress! Let's finish the job and get the rest done! #FundHSR #FinishTheLine

CA High Speed Rail Authority has won the first agreement for overhead wires on Class 1-owned tracks in the state. Leveraging this is critical not only for Metrolink electrification, but to electrify freight from the ports to Barstow. To clean up freight, High Speed Rail must reach LA. #FinishTheLine

Californians are already reaping the benefits of CA High Speed Rail: electric Caltrain, SF's Central Subway, and LA's Regional Connector. Projects like The Portal in SF, LinkUS in LA, Metrolink and Capitol Corridor electrification, and inland rail to San Diego all need CA to #FinishTheLine.
A supermajority of voters, California's governor, and Democratic leadership in the Legislature all support California High Speed Rail. As Trump and Duffy try to override the will of the people, let's band together to #FundHSR and #FinishTheLine.
The #WeHo City Council approved the First Last Mile Early Assessment Plan 5-0 last night. Proud to work for a City that’s ready to proactively work with Metro to maximize access to future rail service. Let’s #FinishTheLine!
