>Biden Admin Sends Billions To California For Brightline West Rail Project

 

>12:28 PM โ€“ Monday, December 11, 2023

 

>The Biden Administration declared that it is sending $3 billion in federal taxpayer funds to California for the stateโ€™s high-speed rail project.

 

>On Tuesday, the Biden Administration announced that it is sending California $3 billion in federal taxpayer funds for the Brightline West rail project, which covers a quarter of the cost for a high-speed rail line that is set to run from Las Vegas, Nevada, to Los Angeles, California.

 

>Brightline, which is the nationโ€™s only private passenger rail operator offering high-speed service, requested $3.75 billion to help with the project out of about $12 billion in costs.

 

>Advocates anticipate that the project will reduce emissions, ease traffic, and provide a more affordable means of transportation between Las Vegas and California. Every year, about 16 million people travel through the Mojave Desert on Interstate-15 toward Southern California from Las Vegas.

 

>According to Brightline, the rail connection would result in the annual elimination of 3 million car trips.

 

>The trains will run as fast as 180 miles per hour and will have the ability to hold about 500 passengers as often as every 45 minutes, Brightline stated.

 

>We are deeply honored to receive a federal grant from @POTUS to help build the nation's first high speed rail project in partnership with @nevadadot. We are ready to get to work, connecting communities and redefining the future of transportation. #BrightlineWest #highspeedrail pic.twitter.com/hG1ziSI5y9

 

>The proposed Brightline West project would connect with the existing regional rail system in Los Angeles at Rancho Cucamonga, California, after running from a new station close to the Las Vegas Strip.

 

>It would take just under three hours to complete the trip.

 

>A group of lawmakers from Nevada and California have consistently pushed for federal funding to assist in the project for months, saying that Brightline West was needed for economic growth.

 

>โ€œThis historic high-speed rail project will be a game changer for Nevadaโ€™s tourism economy and transportation,โ€ Senator Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) said in a statement. โ€œItโ€™ll bring more visitors to our state, reduce traffic on the I-15, create thousands of good paying jobs, and decrease carbon emissions, all while relying on local union labor.โ€

 

>Rosen additionally mentioned that the $3 billion grant is funded from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

 

>The Brightline West rail project was initially approved 15 years ago and has since experienced unheard-of delays and been remarkably downsized. Earlier this year, the company introduced the first-ever high-speed Orlando to Miami service.

 

>The project is set to be fully constructed by 2027, which will be just in time for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

 

>On Friday, President Joe Biden will be in Las Vegas, where most assume he will officially announce the Brightline West rail project to the public.
