A bipartisan congressional group from Nevada and California asked the Biden administration Monday to fast-track federal funds for a private company to build a high-speed rail line between Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area.
All six of Nevada’s elected federal lawmakers and four House members from California said in a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg that they’re on board with a proposal from a private company, Brightline West, to spend more than $10 billion to lay tracks for trains that would whisk passengers generally along the traffic-clogged Interstate 15 corridor.
