Brightline West the company behind the proposed high-speed rail line between Las Vegas and Rancho Cucamonga will receive $3 billion from the Department of Transportation, a large portion of the $3.75 billion the company was seeking in public funds. The remainder of the projected $12 billion cost will be privately financed.
With the environmental approval in place, officials said Brightline remains on track to break ground at the end of this year, with hopes of starting service by early 2027.
