Bipartisan support for high-speed train between Las Vegas and California.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers from Nevada and California have urged the Biden administration to fast-track federal funds for Brightline West, a private company seeking to build a high-speed rail line between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area. The project, which could cost over $10 billion, aims to reduce traffic congestion and cut travel time in half, potentially carrying passengers at speeds of nearly 200 mph. Brightline West is seeking $3.75 billion in federal funding from the Biden administration-backed federal infrastructure law.
