California OKs $64B high-speed rail plan

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The board that oversees California's high-speed rail project has approved the latest $64 billion business plan calling for trains to run from the Central Valley to the San Jose area starting in 2025.

Board members approved the plan Thursday after delaying the vote by a week.

Rail officials have pitched a $21 billion first segment between Merced and San Jose as the only way to ensure a useable segment gets built with the existing funding.

Previous business plans had called for the bullet train to head first to the San Fernando Valley.
