Transportation Eminent Domain Costs Trigger State Audit. 3 Catalysts. 4 Audit Recommendations.

California High Speed Rail, Phase 1, will  face an audit after these 3 things happened:

• Projected costs for phase 1 of California’s high speed rail have risen by $3 Billion
• A bipartisan group of legislators requested a formal audit
• Concerns that the project will need state subsidies

Due to the projected cost increase, the audit will make the following recommendations:

• how to accelerate the project’s timeline
• reduce costs and identify other sources of revenue
• best practices for approving contract cost changes, including eminent domain costs
• economic benefits of the project to communities
