The federal government is backing a high-speed rail system connecting Southern California to Las Vegas with a $3 billion investment, officials announced Tuesday, Dec. 5.

The announcement comes after Nevada Sens. Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto led a bipartisan group that included four House members from California that urged President Joe Biden in April to commit up to $3.75 billion in federal infrastructure funds toward what they call a public-private partnership with Brightline West.
