Letters

U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO) and U.S. Senate Commerce Committee Ranking Member Ted Cruz (R-TX) are asking the Department of Transportation (DOT) to turn over documents and information regarding the Biden administration’s decision to waste billions in taxpayer money on the failed California High-Speed Rail project.

While California High-Speed Rail was intended to cost California taxpayers a total of $33 billion and be completed four years ago, not a single segment of the system has been completed to date. Meanwhile, the total estimated cost has ballooned to $128 billion (and counting), and there is no expected date of completion. 

Given the fact that there is no reasonable path forward for successful completion of the California High-Speed Rail project, Rep. Graves and Sen. Cruz questioned the Biden administration’s decision to award the project billions of dollars in federal taxpayer funds—funding that could have been spent on more cost-effective and successful projects.
