Thank you chair Blake's peer Members of committee I appreciate the very much opportunity to present. Here first thing this morning. I'll start by accepting the committee amendments expressing gratitude sincere gratitude to you and your staff for the work on this bill. There's been a lot of work done on it, on the bill and it's all been necessary work. The bill is a narrow and targeted solution for situations where major transit and rail projects have already completed extensive environmental review through multiple adopted plans and prior environmental documents.
In those cases, repeating the same analysis does not improve environmental protection. It only adds potential years of delay and millions of dollars in cost. SB thirteen seventy five allows qualifying projects to avoid that duplication so those resources can be invested directly in delivering public projects that improve mobility, reduce emissions, and strengthen communities. In my own district, the Diridon Station Modernization Project in the heart of San Jose is one example where years environmental work have already been completed by several partner agencies. The modernization effort there will connect multiple rail and transit systems, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enable transit oriented housing and economic development.
