$3B secured for construction of Las Vegas-Southern California high-speed rail

$3 billion in funding has been secured for the construction of the Las Vegas to Southern California high-speed rail project, which aims to connect the two regions and alleviate congestion on the Interstate 15 corridor. The project, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is expected to remove 3 million cars from the highway annually, reduce carbon emissions, and create 35,000 union jobs. The high-speed rail will have a positive impact on Nevada's tourism economy and rely on local union labor.
