A bipartisan congressional group from California and Nevada has asked the Biden Administration to fast-track federal funding for the high-speed train connecting the Los Angeles area to Las Vegas.

A new station will be built in Rancho Cucamonga and will connect the to existing Metrolink service lines in San Bernardino and Los Angeles. Riders from the SoCal area will arrive in Vegas in a little over two hours while traveling at speeds of nearly 200 mph.

The company behind the project, Brightline West, will spend over $10 billion to lay tracks along the Interstate 15 corridor in a public-private partnership. The Nevada Department of Transportation is seeking $3.75 billion in federal funding from the Biden administration-backed federal infrastructure law.
