California High Speed Rail authority released last week the new business plan for its planned High Speed Rail from San Francisco to Anheim.Private funding through public private partnerships is stated to be a major funding player for the construction of these sections. This is not new, CAHSRA always thought of private firms to ensure that the High Speed Rail is built.P3s are being used to build high speed rail lines in countries like Portugal, France and Taiwan. It seems to me that the amount of private participation over the whole investment amount and the correct mitigation of risks are key factors for the success of P3s in high speed rail lines.I have downloaded the document and I've posted down here for you to read it. I hope it is of your interest.20091214132101_CHSRARPT1209weblinks UPDATE: The California High Speed Rail Authority has released an Addendum to the 2009 Businees Plan posted above and I want you to have it also here.
