The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) is a California state agency established in 1996[1] pursuant to the California High-Speed Rail Act[2] to develop and implement high-speed intercity rail service, namely the California High-Speed Rail project. The CHSRA succeeded the California Intercity High-Speed Rail Commission, which was created in 1993.[3]
