Los Angeles to Anaheim

On December 5, 2025, the Authority announced the availability of the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) for the California High-Speed Rail System.

On May 16, 2024, the Authority’s Board of Directors was presented with the Staff Recommended Preferred Alternative, the Shared Passenger Track Alternative A, for the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section for identification in the Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (DEIR/EIS).

On November 2, 2023, the Authority issued a Supplemental Alternatives Analysis (SAA) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section of the California High-Speed Rail Project. The Authority prepared this SAA to evaluate new alternatives that would eliminate the need for the BNSF Intermodal Facility in San Bernardino County included in the August 25, 2020, Revised Notice of Intent. The SAA proposes to advance the Shared Passenger Track Alternative for further consideration within the draft environmental documents (EIR/EIS). The Shared Passenger Track Alternative generally resembles the 2018 High-Speed Rail (HSR) Project Alternative and, among the new alternatives studied within the SAA, best meets the Project’s purpose and need by serving the most potential passengers in the most cost-effective manner, while also reducing impacts to the environment, existing rail operations, and communities.

As part of the public review process for the Los Angeles to Anaheim Draft EIR/EIS, the Authority is hosting a series of meetings to provide information and receive public comment. Please join us for an Open House and/or Public Hearing. All Open House meetings will feature the same information, providing details about the project alternatives and the Draft EIR/EIS. The Open House will also provide an opportunity to ask questions about the document and the public comment process. Please note that comments and questions received during the Open House portion of the meetings will not be included in the official public record. The Public Hearing portion of the meetings will include a formal public comment period during which members of the public may provide oral and written comments on the Draft EIR/EIS for inclusion in the official record.

Interpreters will be available at each event to provide Spanish and Korean interpretation services.
En la reunión se contará con intérpretes que traducirán al español para el público asistente que lo necesite.
회의에는 필요한 참석자를 위해 한국어 통역 서비스가 제공됩니다.

The State of California and the federal government both require a proposed infrastructure project to undergo an extensive assessment of the project’s potential impacts on the environment – land, air, water, minerals, plants, animals and noise – and proposed actions to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible.

Decisions regarding how and where to build the California high-speed rail system are made and justified by using detailed environmental studies and public comments on the potential environmental impacts of the proposed rail system and routes.

The materials listed under the Documents & Reports section below include studies and reports the Authority has produced to date, along with corresponding public comments received, during the environmental review process of the Los Angeles to Anaheim project section.

On December 5, 2025, the Authority announced the availability of the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) for the California High-Speed Rail (HSR) System. The Draft EIR/EIS has been prepared and is being made available pursuant to both the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

The documents are available for review and public comment through Tuesday, February 3, 2026. Find the documents on the Los Angeles to Anaheim Project Section: Environmental Documents webpage.
