The Brightline West project, which has received a $3-billion federal grant, will connect Las Vegas to Southern California by 2028.
The high-speed rail project that will connect Las Vegas with Southern California by 2028 has received a funding injection of $3 billion in the form of a federal grant.The Brightline West project will use fully electric trains capable of reaching speeds of more than 200 miles per hour. This will significantly reduce travel time between Las Vegas and the planned Rancho Cucamonga station to approximately two hours, less than half the average driving time.
It is expected to attract a significant portion of the estimated 50 million annual travelers between the two destinations, easing traffic congestion on Interstate 15 and providing a more sustainable alternative to driving.Beyond its impact on travel and tourism, the high-speed rail project will inject money into the local economy: an estimated 35,000 jobs will be created during construction, including over 10,000 union construction jobs.
