Welcome
The Citizens for California High Speed Rail Accountability (CCHSRA) is a grassroots, non-profit mutual benefit corporation formed by
local residents of Kings County.  The CCHSRA was formed to ensure sure the proposed California High Speed Rail Project does not adversely affect the economy, environment, or the quality of life for California's existing communities with a focus on Kings County. CCHSRA will accomplish this by working through public advocacy, litigation, and political action.
