CEO's gone; High-Speed Rail still plans to lay first tracks this year. Does it need the win?

The recent resignation of its CEO hasn’t changed the California High-Speed Rail Authority ’s plan to lay the project’s first tracks by the end of year, says the head of the agency’s board, a milestone that could improve the public image of the often-maligned project. The agency says it has already begun receiving the building materials it needs to begin that work in Kern County. “We’re moving forward,” board Chair Steve Kawa told The Fresno Bee. “We’re going to be getting track, and we’re going to be laying track in 2026.” The rail authority has spent most of the last two years promising the physical milestone by the end of this year — more than a decade after construction began in the Central Valley — so failing to begin that work could worsen the project’s already strained public image. Gov.-elect Xavier Becerra, a Democrat, has indicated he wants to reform high-speed rail, but he has provided few details about any potential plans. Jonathan Underland, Becerra’s spokesperson, did not respond to The Fresno Bee’s request for an interview with the governor-elect. If the agency succeeds in laying track in the next six weeks, it could take a late win in what

With CA High-Speed Rail facing cash crisis in 2027, is new CEO ‘perfect' for the moment?

The California High-Speed Rail Authority is hoping its new CEO, a state finance official, will help the agency solve a cashflow crisis that threatens more delays and cost increases if it’s not solved by the end of 2027. The interim CEO, Joe Stephenshaw, is the director of California’s Department of Finance . That agency advises the governor and Legislature on fiscal policy and could help the rail authority find a way to use its promised future state funding to avoid a zero-cash scenario next year. Stephenshaw said during a Thursday news conference that he has spent his career working on state budgetary issues and with the California Legislature. That experience will be crucial as the embattled rail authority seeks to maintain the support of state lawmakers and Gov.-elect Xavier Becerra. “I understand the importance of partnership on statewide initiatives,” Stephenshaw said. “That’s a commitment that I’m definitely going to have, and a mindset that I’m going to have in this role.” The rail authority is attempting to finish 2026 by laying the project’s first tracks in the Central Valley, a physical milestone that would serve as a win in what has otherwise been a politically uncertain year for the project.
