ANAHEIM, CA-Despite its perceived hurdles, high-speed rail in California is possible, and its arrival will begin bridging the transportation efficiency gap between the US and Europe and China, according to a panel of urban design and development experts at last week’s California High-Speed Rail TOD Marketplace. The seminar—presented from the Anaheim Convention Center by the California chapters of the Urban Land Institute—offered glimpses of blossoming TOD successes at home, as well as case studies of successful high-speed rail infrastructure abroad.

Individual panels included breakout reports on impactful, emerging TODs in San Diego, San Jose, CA and Temecula, CA. Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle, who chairs the California High Speed Rail Authority, offered introductory remarks that shed cautious optimism on California’s role as a leader in a national effort to bring more efficient rail transportation to the masses.
