After roughly 15 years and billions in taxpayer dollars, California’s high-speed rail project still has yet to lay down a single track, according to President Donald Trump’s Department of Transportation.
A shocking 300-page Federal Railroad Administration report released Wednesday by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy revealed that the project has already absorbed approximately $6.9 billion in federal funds.
‘While continued federal partnership is important to the project, the majority of our funding has been provided by the state.’
California is anticipating another $4 billion in taxpayer money from two additional grants. However, Duffy noted that the state is in jeopardy of losing the funds because the project’s colossal failures have put it “in default of the terms of its federal grant awards.”
