2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Getting Up to Speed: SOCAL High Speed Rail Corridor Analysis Track: Transportation Author(s): Caroline Brundage A program level Environmental Impact Report was prepared for the proposed High Speed Rail corridor from Los Angeles to San Diego (LOSSAN). This presentation will introduce the purpose and need for the project, the objectives for conducting the analysis, as well as the ways GIS was extensively used to calculate impacts for the 13 subject reports that were created. The discussion will include how GIS was used to overcome the challenges of the project, as well as the custom scripts written to streamline the repetitive GIS tasks that were necessary. Additionally, the presenter will discuss some of the unique features of the LOSSAN corridor and how GIS was used to provide a quantitative understanding of potential impacts to those features. The presentation will include lessons learned, as well as an update on the future of the LOSSAN corridor.
