Business Advisory Council

The California High-Speed Rail Authority’s (Authority) Business Advisory Council (BAC) is a voluntary group appointed by the Authority to represent the collective voice of construction and professional services trade associations, and small businesses throughout the state. The Council serves as a forum for providing valuable input and feedback to the Authority on policies and practices that impact California’s small business community.

While the BAC is not a decision-making body for the Authority, the collaboration, and input provided by the BAC and other stakeholders all serve to advance the Authority’s success in meeting the Authority SB Program goals in accordance with state and federal regulations.

Mission Statement

The Authority’s partnership with the BAC is founded upon a shared vision and commitment to build California’s first statewide high-speed rail system. The contributions and shared perspectives of the BAC provide a foundation for collaboration.  Through this partnership, the Authority is given the opportunity to continually learn, improve, and adapt to changing circumstances in delivering and operating a safe, sustainable, equitable, and integrated transportation system.
