CORTEZ MASTO, ROSEN LEAD BIPARTISAN LETTER IN SUPPORT OF NEVADA'S APPLICATION TO FUND HIGH-SPEED RAIL BETWEEN LAS VEGAS AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Press Release

"We write to express our strong support of the Nevada Department of Transportation's (NDOT) application to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail Grant. This unprecedented funding opportunity for intercity high-speed rail will unleash private investment at a critical moment for our nation, demonstrating the potential for public-private partnerships and planting a flag for American high-speed rail.

Brightline West will serve as a powerful example of the possibilities of high-speed rail for other cities and regions and is well-positioned to advance the U.S. Department of Transportation's priorities related to multi-generational infrastructure investments, job creation, equity, and climate change resiliency and sustainability. High-speed rail connecting Nevada and California also has the potential to significantly increase visitors to both states, boosting travel and tourism across the region."
