But cost estimates have consistently grown and its timeline pushed back.<\/p>\n<p>State officials are now focused on building a 119-mile (192-kilometer) stretch connecting the Central Valley cities of Bakersfield and Merced that is set to be operating by 2033. The California High Speed Rail Authority is slated to release a report this summer to state lawmakers with an updated funding plan and timeline for the project.<\/p>\n<p>Authority officials wrote in a letter earlier this month that the Trump administration made up its mind about revoking funding before thoroughly reviewing the project. They noted that more than 50 structures have already been built, including underpasses, viaducts and bridges to separate the rail line from roadways for safety.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCanceling these grants without cause isn\u2019t just wrong \u2014 it\u2019s illegal,\u201d authority CEO Ian Choudri said in a statement Wednesday. \u201cThese are legally binding agreements, and the Authority has met every obligation, as confirmed by repeated federal reviews, as recently as February 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The authority has asked potential private investors to express their interest by the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state will keep \u201call options on the table\u201d to fight the revocation of federal funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump wants to hand China the future and abandon the Central Valley. We won\u2019t let him,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The state has \u201cno viable plan\u201d to complete even the Central Valley segment, said Drew Feeley, acting administrator of the transportation department\u2019s Federal Railroad Administration, in a report released last month. He called the project a \u201cstory of broken promises\u201d and a waste of taxpayer dollars.<\/p>\n<p>California Democrats also have criticized project spending. Democratic Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan said at a budget hearing earlier this year that her constituents \u201coverwhelmingly believe\u201d high-speed rail spending \u201chas been irresponsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newsom plans to extend the state\u2019s cap-and-trade program, a key funding source for the project which is set to expire at the end of 2030, through 2045.<\/p>\n<p>The program sets a declining limit on the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions large emitters can release. Those polluters can buy allowances from the state needed to pollute, and about 45% of that money goes into what\u2019s known as the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, according to the Independent Emissions Market Advisory Committee, a group of experts that reviews the program.<\/p>\n<p>The fund helps pay for climate and transportation projects, including high-speed rail.<\/p>\n<p>The bullet train project receives 25% of the money from the fund, which ends up being a little less or a little more than $1 billion annually, depending on the year. Newsom in May proposed guaranteeing $1 billion a year for the project from the fund, but lawmakers have not agreed to that.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration revoked federal funding for\u00a0California\u2019s high-speed rail project\u00a0on Wednesday, intensifying uncertainty about how the state will make good on its long-delayed promise of building a bullet train to shuttle riders between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
