Duffy threatens rescinding $4 billion for California's high-speed rail after DOT report calls project a ‘failure’

The Trump administration said there is no viable path to completing California’s High-Speed Rail project and warned it may rescind $4 billion in federal funds.

A report from the Federal Railroad Administration released Wednesday said California missed deadlines, has budget shortfalls, and projected questionable ridership numbers. The report said California “conned the taxpayer out of its $4 billion investment, with no viable plan to deliver even that partial segment on time.”
