Bipartisan support for Las Vegas-California bullet train.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers from Nevada and California has urged the Biden administration to fast-track federal funds for Brightline West, a private company that plans 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. Brightline West is seeking $3.75 billion in federal funding from the Biden administration-backed federal infrastructure law. The project could create 35,000 construction jobs and 1,000 permanent jobs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.
