A <br />Consensushcs <br />Interact. Innovate. Influence. <br />California High-Speed Rail Authority <br />Public Involvement Program for the Feasibility and Environmental Studies of a <br />High Speed Rail System in California <br />Since 1994, Consensus Inc. has developed and implemented <br />statewide public involvement programs-including strategic <br />communications and media relations programs-for the California <br />High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA), which envisions an 800-mile <br />high-speed train line that will run throughout the state from San <br />Diego to the Bay Area and Sacramento. Our public involvement <br />programs for the statewide system studies involve a successful <br />media relations strategy including an abundance of stories in print, television, radio, and online <br />mediums. Consensus Inc. has identified and prioritized community organizations, chambers of <br />commerce, and business organizations that will have the most interest in the project, as well as high- <br />level stakeholders with interested constituencies, resulting in hundreds of groups and elected officials <br />receiving briefings on the project. The briefings served to support our effort to build a strong coalition <br />of advocates-ultimately resulting in California voters approving a $9.95 billion bond investment to <br />help fund construction of Phase I of the California High-Speed Rail system. Our work has included: <br />¦ California Statewide High Speed Rail Feasibility Studies (1994 -1996). Consensus Inc. <br />served as prime contractor and managed a statewide public involvement program for Caltrans <br />and the former Intercity High Speed Rail Commission to study high speed rail in California. <br />¦ Public Involvement Programs for the Los Angeles to Bakersfield Segment: Program-Level <br />Environmental Impact Statement/ Report (EIS/EIR) (2001 - 2003). The firm developed and <br />implemented an outreach program to elicit participation from the public as the California High <br />Speed Rail Commission developed a Program-Level (EIS/EIR) between LA and Bakersfield. <br />¦ Public Involvement Programs for the Project-Level EIS/EIR Los Angeles to Palmdale <br />Corridor Section (2007 to Present). Consensus Inc. serves as a public outreach sub-contractor <br />to the Hatch Mott McDonald/URS team as it moves forward with preparing a Project-Level <br />Environmental Impact Statement/Report for the CHSRA. <br />¦ Public Involvement Programs for the Project-Level EIS/EIR Anaheim to Los Angeles <br />Corridor Section (2007 to Present). Consensus Inc. is providing public outreach while this <br />section is undergoing environmental review and preliminary engineering. <br />Client Contact <br />Dan Leavitt, Deputy Director <br />California High Speed Rail <br />925 "L" Street, Suite 1425 <br />Sacramento, CA 95814 <br />916. 3241541 <br />dleavitt hsr.ca.gov <br />Santa Ana Transit Vision Public Outreach-City of Santa Ana
