California's high-speed rail project to get back nearly $1B in funding that Trump cut
California will receive $929 million in grant funding toward its high-speed rail project — funding that former President Donald Trump had previously canceled in 2019 — under a deal announced by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office late Thursday night.
Officials with the U.S. Department of Transportation and the state finalized settlement negotiations to restore the funding, Newsom’s office said.
Newsom applauded the funding restoration, saying the reversal is a testament to President Biden’s and Vice President Kamala Harris’ shared vision with California: “Clean, electrified transportation that will serve generations to come.”
