Twelve Republican members of the House of Representatives recently sent a letter to Pete Buttigieg, Department of Transportation (DOT) secretary, expressing concern over federal funding for California’s high speed rail project.
The project, a line between Los Angeles and San Francisco, had a proposed cost of approximately $33 billion in 2008 and was to begin service in 2020. Several delays have occurred, and now the cost is approximately $100 billion, and no estimated date for the start of services.
