Description
Description | California's long-delayed high-speed rail project is planned to operate in the Central Valley by 2032. The project aims to shuttle riders across nearly 500 miles between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Currently, 119 miles of construction is underway in the Central Valley, with a 171-mile section between Merced and Bakersfield expected to cost nearly $37 billion. The project has received nearly $24 billion in funding to date, mostly from state sources and the federal government, though some federal funding was pulled. The project needs to secure additional funding to connect to larger population centers near the Bay Area and Los Angeles and attract private investors. |
