High Speed Rail Student Symposium

Some lucky ITE members took part in a student symposium about the new High Speed Rail project in California. During the session they heard from many high-ranking Rail Authority leaders and former #IWillRide student advocates. Following the talks and networking sessions was a tour of the current construction sites. Progress is being made and the first stage will open in 2025!
