Watch onWASHINGTON - The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday plans to vote on legislation that would bar the Biden administration from awarding funds to California's High-Speed Rail project.
The California high-speed rail program aims to ultimately move travelers from San Francisco to the Los Angeles basin at speeds above 200 miles per hour in under three hours. California voters approved an initial $10 billion bond for the project in 2008. The initial segment is now estimated to cost up to $35 billion and launch service as early as 2030. The full San Francisco to Los Angeles project is estimated to cost between $88 billion and $128 billion.
