Federal grants for transportation infrastructure in Florida, awarded under President Biden, are reportedly safe from budget cuts being implemented by the Trump Administration's new cost-reducing agency. Recent comments from U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy express strong dissatisfaction with the California High-Speed Rail project's ongoing delays and soaring costs, which now estimate $106 billion compared to the original $33 billion. Duffy indicated that funds might be redirected from California to more efficient projects like Brightline West, which is progressing more swiftly and has secured significant federal funding.
"For too long, taxpayers have subsidized the massively over-budget and delayed California High-Speed Rail project. President Trump is right that this project is in dire need of an investigation."
"Duffy said it was supposed to be completed by 2020 and cost $33 billion. The latest estimate: $106 billion."
