Proposed high-speed rail projects in California can provide a competitive alternative to airlines, especially in the highly traveled corridors between the Los Angeles area and San Francisco, as well as between Las Vegas and southern parts of the state, a new study shows.
The research by the Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, D.C., bolsters the argument for building the north-south California high-speed rail project and a so-called maglev or conventional rail system that would link Anaheim or Victorville with Las Vegas.
