Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen is supporting the Department of Transportation’s request for a grant to help build Brightline West’s high-speed rail system between Southern California and Las Vegas.
Rosen, D-Nev., on Wednesday sent a letter, shared exclusively with the Review-Journal, to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg urging the U.S. Department of Transportation to “stand ready to receive NDOT’s application for the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Grant Program to construct this critical high-speed rail project.”
The grant is part of a $4.57 billion Federal Railroad Administration program authorized in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law by President Joe Biden in 2021 and authored in part by Rosen.
