Description
Description | The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) is responsible for planning, designing, building, and operating the first high-speed rail system in the nation. The project has received approximately $6.9 billion in federal dollars over roughly 15 years but has not laid a single high-speed track. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) conducted a compliance review and found CHSRA in default of federal grant terms due to missed deadlines, budget shortfalls, overrepresentation of ridership projections, and other issues. FRA proposed to terminate two federal grant awards totaling roughly $4 billion. |
