Vision California: Calthorpe Associates leads statewide effort
(June 2009)
Calthorpe Associates is leading Vision California, an unprecedented effort funded by the California High Speed Rail Authority to explore the critical role of land use and transportation investments in meeting the environmental and fiscal challenges facing the state over the coming decades.

The results will inform decisions about the investments and policies that will drive the state's growth.
