The White House on Friday announced $8.2 billion for 10 passenger rail projects across the country, including more than $6 billion for high-speed rail projects in California and Nevada.
The money, authorized by the 2021 infrastructure law, comes from the Federal Railroad Administration’s Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Program.
As part of the announcement, an additional $34.5 million for planning and development of new passenger rail projects across the country, also authorized by the law, will come from the Corridor Identification and Development program.
