U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg praised the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for funding Brightline West's high-speed rail, highlighting its bipartisan and multi-sectoral support, as well as its significant impact on American infrastructure development.
Brightline West's 218-mile rail line from Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga in Southern California, set to open in 2028, will utilize electric trains running at around 186 miles per hour, offering a much quicker travel option compared to the congested I-15 highway.
Brightline West's speed of nearly 200 miles per hour positions it to be the first true high-speed rail system in the United States, significantly faster than its Florida counterpart, and a transformative addition to the American transportation network.
Two major high-speed rail projects are currently under construction near Los Angeles; Brightline West and the California High-Speed Rail Authority's line running from Merced to Bakersfield, set to connect to LA in the future, promising a new era of travel connectivity.
