In California, we dream big — and despite Washington's outrageous attacks, our @cahsra.bsky.social high-speed rail is becoming a reality. While we've broken ground on our transformative rail project here in California, Texas' high-speed rail has been a failure to launch.
Thanks to the FRA and Amtrak staff who advanced the high-speed Dallas-Houston Corridor to benefit Texans who sit in I-40 traffic. We will not forget their dedication and service. www.transportation.gov/briefing-roo...
The NYT has a couple of deep dives today regarding passenger rail in the U.S. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/t... www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/h...

As my service in the Biden-Harris Administration reaches its conclusion, I take pride in the record and the legacy we are leaving at the Federal Railroad Administration. www.transportation.gov/briefing-roo... railroads.fra.dot.gov/rail-network... railroads.dot.gov/railroad-saf...
